Jeff Bridges - Maybe I Missed The Point

I know somebody whose life is tough
I help a little but it isn’t enough
‘cause I don’t 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 is inside of me
But I get busy and I get distracted
And I do nothing when I could have acted


I lay low when I could have stood high
I say nothing when I should have asked why
Saw something I might have done and I didn’t
A chance to speak my truth and I hid it



Inside I like to believe I’m cool
Easy to love and hard to fool
But I know there’s more I could have enjoyed
Sometimes I find myself thinking
Maybe I missed the point


So many times I’ve turned down love
Stayed in the dark when I could have lit it up
But every time I did take a chance
It 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 want to live
No more without you


I lay low when I could have stood high
I say nothing when I should have asked why
Saw something I might have done and I didn’t
A chance to speak my truth and I hid it


Inside I like to believe I’m cool
Easy to love and hard to fool
But I know there’s more I could have enjoyed
Sometimes I find myself thinking
Maybe I missed the point
