[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
I guess I lost myself
Trying to be somebody else

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
I guess I lost myself
Trying to be somebody else
[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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
