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.
