Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I wish I looked like Bradley Cooper
Wish I had movie star muscles like Chris Pratt
I wish my kids thought I was cooler
I 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's heard
All the insecure voices in my head
[Verse 2]
Not good enough, not cool enough
Don't measure up, yeah, I've had enough
Listen
[Verse 3]
Hey, I don't wanna spend my life
Wishing 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
[Verse 4]
The whole world is posting pictures
Looks like everybody else has the perfect life
And we're just watching from the bleachers
Discontent and thinking, "Wouldn't it be nice?"
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
Hey, I don't wanna spend my life
Wishing 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)
[Verse 7]
(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
[Verse 8]
'Cause I know You, yeah
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
