I know somebody whose life is tough
I help a little but it isn't enough
'Cause I go spent 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 inside of me
But I get busy and I get distracted
And I do nothing when I could have acted

I laid low when I could've stood high
I said nothing when I should've asked why
It's all something I might have done and I didn't
A chance to speak my truth and I held 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 in times I've turned down love
Stayed in the dark when I could've lit it up
But every time I did take a chance
It makes me happy when I'm looking back

I'm afraid my whole life feels like a joke
But I've been a master of mirrors and smoke
And I don't wanna live
I know I'm worried if I was you

I laid low when I could've stood high
I said nothing when I should've asked why
It's all something I might have done and I didn't
A chance to speak my truth and I held 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
