what's the point (for lack of a title)

what's the point of fighting
when all i want to do is love
when the purity of innocence
is still the dream i dream most of

what's the point of returning
any negative energy
when what i want most is to live
sharing positivity

you can call it turning the other cheek
you can call it stupidity
but what's the point of fighting back
when that only hurts you and me

those foolish games were breaking my heart

so maybe you hated me because
i was only perfect in my words
in my intentions
so maybe you baited me because
i stopped trying, was i lying
or asking questions

so maybe i wanted you to do for me
what i knew i had to do for myself
and vice versa
but all the words in the world
and all the worlds in the words
are just rehearsal

i remember a time i'd listen to
jewel's pieces of you
and cry as i'd be wailing
the words to every song

i remember a time i'd listen to
elton's made in england
and cry as i'd be wishing
the words did not go wrong

i remember a time i'd listen to
the telling's blue solitaire
and i'd be promising and believing
that is where we belonged

i remember a time i'd listen to
billy's honesty
and cry as i be praying
someone would hear the words

but everyone failed to notice
or at least nobody cared
to come around and relate to
the feelings i shared

or tried to share
but we know it's true
i didn't share
cuz sharing takes two

once i used to sing
from my heart, from my soul
i did not care how it would sound
it just made me whole. . .

just let it out
whatever it's about

get to the bottom of what's bothering you
it will not break me
tell me what will ease your mind
tell me what will mend your heart
tell me whatever you need to tell me
i won't fall apart
i thought you knew from the very start what made my world go 'round
i believe in love,
it's all i've got

so what's the point of fighting
when all i want to do is love
when the purity of innocence
is still the dream i dream most of

what's the point of returning
any negative energy
when what i want most is to live
sharing positivity

you can call it turning the other cheek
you can call it stupidity
but what's the point of fighting back
when that only hurts you and me
