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
