Maybe I Missed The Point Lyrics - Jeff Bridges - Jeff Bridges

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
