The Me You Made

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 wearin' dad

Now there's another thing I'm wishin' (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

Wishin' 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 postin' pictures (yeah)

Looks like everybody else has the perfect life

And we're just watchin' from the bleachers (yeah)

Discontent and thinkin', "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

Wishin' 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

Wishin' 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
