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

And 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 nothing when I could've acted

I laid low when I could've stood high
I said nothing when I should've asked why
I saw something 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 thinking
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 looking 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
No more without you

I laid low when I could've stood high
I said nothing when I should've asked why
I saw something 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 thinking
Maybe I missed the point
