The Me You Made

(album: Brand New - 2020)

I wish I looked like Bradley Cooper (yeah)
Wish I had movie star muscles like Chris Pratt
I wish my kids thought I was cooler (yeah)
Wish I wasn't just a skinny-jean wearing dad
Now there's another thing I'm wishing (yeah)
I wish I didn't just say what I just said
'Cause now everybody's heard (yeah)
All the insecure voices in my head

Not good enough
Not cool enough
Don't measure up
Yeah, I've had enough
Listen...

Hey
I don't wanna spend my life
Wishing I was different
That would be a waste of time
'Cause I know You
You love me just as I am
And I know my God don't make mistakes
So, I'm just gonna be the me You made

The whole world is posting pictures (yeah)
Looks like everybody else has the perfect life
And we're just watching from the bleachers (yeah)
Discontent and thinking, "Wouldn't it be nice?"

But comparison is the thief of joy
Trust me, I know
'Cause for way too long, I let it steal my joy
But not anymore

Hey
I don't wanna spend my life
Wishing I was different
That would be a waste of time
'Cause I know You
You love me just as I am
And I know my God don't make mistakes
So, I'm just gonna be the me You made

(Me You made, me) yeah, I'm just gonna be the me You made
(Me You made, me)

(Not good enough
Not cool enough
Don't measure up
Yeah, I've had enough)
No offense to Bradley Cooper but...

Hey
I don't wanna spend my life
Wishing I was different
That would be a waste of time
'Cause I know You
You love me just as I am
And I know my God don't make mistakes
So, I'm just gonna be the me You made

(Me You made, me) yeah, I'm just gonna be the me You made
(Me You made, me) hey, I'm just gonna be the me You made
(Me You made, me) and I know my God don't make mistakes
(Me You made, me) so, I'm just gonna be the me you made
