They keep asking what I bring to the table
(Mm) sweetheart, I built the house
I light the room when I walk in
Bring peace where storms have been
I hold love like holding fire
It still don't fold through no desire
I gave grace, I gave time
Gave my soul, gave my shine
But I learned the truth so sweet the whole time
The point was me, yeah
I'm the reason, I'm the root
I'm the one who stayed true
I'm the soft and I'm the steel
Gave them real they couldn't feel
I'm the center, I'm the key
Gave the love they prayed to see
You were searching, now you see
The whole time, the point was me (fresh)
Uh, I ain't perfect, but I'm gold (oh)
Loved myself before I was told (ooh, ooh)
Now I love without condition (ah)
But don't confuse it for permission (mm)
If I stay, it's by choice (by choice)
I don't beg, I lift my voice (my voice)
I bring peace, (oh) I bring the feast (mm)
And baby, I've been the piece
I was never just a role
Never just the help
Never just the love
I was always the pulse, (oh) the soul
The point
I'm the reason, I'm the base
I'm the calm inside your chest
I'm the magic, I'm the proof
That love like mine is truth
I'm the moment, I'm the light
I'm the why you sleep at night
Don't forget, now you see
From the start, the point was me (oh)
You ain't gotta look no more
The love you needed
Been in me
