Maybe I Missed The Point

  • I know somebody whose life is tough
    I help a little, but it isn't enough
    'Cause I go and spend money on stupid stuff
    When I know he's strugglin' to stay above

    And I have so many chances to be
    The hero I believe is in 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 shouldn've asked why
    I saw somethin' that I might've done and I didn't
    A chance to speak my truth and 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 saying my whole life feels like a joke
    But I've been a master of mirrors and smoke
    And I don't wanna live Writer/s: JOHN GOODWIN
