Be Me

I wanted to be a happy bee flying out the window

flirting with every flower and then making honey

I wanted to be that pretty pattern on my pillow

i wanted to be beautiful

But I can only be me

if I'm not me then who will be me

with my silly laughter and little tragedies, me

if I'm not me then who will be me

I wanted to stop obsessing over every little detail

going round and round in circles like a windmill

I wanted to stop chasing a dream that may never happen

I wanted to be simple

But I can only be me

if I'm not me then who will be me

with my silly laughter and little tragedies, me

if I'm not me then who will be me

And you, you're so special

you eat what they serve you

you love what you're made of

and I do too

you, you're so bright

you make everyone around you shine

oh, you are you

and I wish I could be you too

but I can only be me

if I'm not me then who will be me

with my silly laughter and little tragedies, me

if I'm not me then who will be me

with my melodramatic tendencies, me

if I'm not me then who will be me
