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
