Lyrics

[00:27.39] I know somebody whose life is tough.
[00:30.52] I help a little, but it isn't enough
[00:33.64] Cuz I go an' spend money on stupid stuff
[00:37.09] When I know he's strugglin' to stay above.
[00:40.02] An' I have so many chances to be
[00:43.71] The hero I believe's inside of me
[00:47.21] But I get busy and I get distracted
[00:50.46] And I do nothin' when I could've acted
[00:53.71] I laid low when I could've stood high.
[00:57.46] I said nothin' when I should've asked why.
[01:00.28] I saw somethin' that I might've done and I didn't,
[01:03.54] A chance to speak my truth and I hid it.
[01:06.92] Inside, I'd like to believe I'm cool,
[01:10.23] Easy to love and hard to fool,
[01:13.60] But I know there's more I could've enjoyed.
[01:16.92] Sometimes I find myself thinkin'
[01:19.22] Maybe I missed the point.
[01:23.67] So many times I turned down love,
[01:27.30] Stayed in the dark when I could've lit it up,
[01:30.42] But every time I did take a chance
[01:33.67] Makes me happy when I'm lookin' back
[01:36.85] I'm not sayin' my whole life feels like a joke
[01:40.35] But I've been a master of mirrors and smoke
[01:43.92] And I don't wanna live
[01:46.72] No mo' without you.
