Lyrics Matthew West – The Me You Made
Text:
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
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
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
