The Best Thing

If I could only read your mind
Then I could be the one you need
I'm really good at taking care of everybody else but me

Maybe if I act real nice
Maybe if I smile real big
Maybe I could change the shape of who I am 'til I fit in

I guess I lost myself
Trying to be somebody else

So I'll sing a song that only I can sing
A melody nobody knows but me
A million things I could pretend to be
But maybe best thing I can be is me
Maybe the best thing
Maybe the best thing
Maybe the best thing I can be is me

If I ever show my face
Nothing left to hide behind
Would anybody stay right here with me no matter what they find

It's easier to shut my mouth
It's easier to just agree
To put my heart inside a box, turn the lock and hide the key

I guess I lost myself
Trying to be somebody else

So I'll sing a song that only I can sing
A melody nobody knows but me
A million things I could pretend to be
Maybe best thing I can be is me

I have something to say
I can't keep it inside
The worlds needs more people
Who are truly alive
And I have a voice
And I have a name
This life is a gift
It's not a mistake
Oh I have to believe
I'm not a mistake

So I'll sing a song that only I can sing
A melody nobody knows but me
A million things I could pretend to be
Maybe best thing I can be is me
Maybe the best thing (Maybe the best thing)
Maybe the best thing
Maybe the best thing I can be is me
Maybe the best thing (Maybe the best thing)
Maybe the best thing
Maybe the best thing I can be is me
