The Best Thing - JJ Heller

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 the 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 the best thing I can be, is me

I have something to say, I can’t keep it inside

The world 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 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

Maybe the best thing (Maybe the best thing)

Maybe the best thing

Maybe the best thing I can be, is me
