maybe i missed the point

Lyrics

i know somebody whose life is tough. i help a little, but it isn't enough, cuz i go an' spend money on stupid stuff, when i know he's strugglin' to stay above. an' i have so many chances to be, the hero i believe's inside of me, but i get busy and i get distracted, and i do nothin' when i could've acted, i laid low when i could've stood high. i said nothin' when i should've asked why. i saw somethin' that i might've done and i didn't, a chance to speak my truth and i hid it. inside, i'd like to believe i'm cool, easy to love and hard to fool, but i know there's more i could've enjoyed. sometimes i find myself thinkin', maybe i missed the point. so many times i turned down love, stayed in the dark when i could've lit it up, but every time i did take a chance, makes me happy when i'm lookin' back, i'm not sayin' my whole life feels like a joke, but i've been a master of mirrors and smoke, and i don't wanna live, no mo' without you.
