If I could only read your mind,
then I could be the one you need
I'm really good at taking care
Maybe if I act real nice,
maybe if I smile real big
Maybe I could change the shape
of who I am till I fit in
Trying to be somebody else
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
nothing left to hide behind
Would anybody stay right here with me,
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
Trying to be somebody else
So I'll sing a song that only I can sing
A melody nobody knows but me
The world needs more people
This life is a gift, it's not a mistake
A melody nobody knows but me
Maybe the best thing I can be is me
