The point is Me

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
