The Me You Made
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
I wish I didn’t just say what I just said
'Cause now everybody knows
All the insecure voices in my head
Not good, 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 (different)
That would be a waste of time
'Cause I know 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
But 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 (Different)
That would be a waste of time
'Cause I know 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 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
