The Best Thing
By JJ Heller, David Heller, and Jilian Linklater
If I could only read your mind
Then I could be the one you need
I’m really good at taking care of everybody else but me
Maybe if I act real nice
Maybe if I smile real big
Maybe I could change the shape of who am ‘til I fit in
I guess I lost myself
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 be
Maybe best thing I can be is me
Maybe the best thing
Maybe the best thing
Maybe the best thing I can be is me
If I ever show my face
Nothing left to hide behind
Would anybody stay right here with me no matter what they find
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
I guess I lost myself
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 be
Maybe best thing I can be is me
Maybe the best thing
Maybe the best thing
Maybe the best thing I can be is me
I have something to say
I can’t keep it inside
The world needs more people who are truly alive
I have a voice
And I have a name
This life is a gift
It’s not a mistake
Oh, I have to believe I’m not a mistake

Great video. It made my child terrified of sharks the night before we leave for the beach!
❤❤❤
Best song ever
Wow ❤
This is one of the most beautiful messages
How do you only have 100k? You are such a good singer, singing songs that teach lessons and have such beautiful lyrics. I hope you are doing well and get the recognition you deserve!
musicbed brought me here
I been struggling to love myself like I supposed to be. I realize that I been hating myself way too much that somehow I hurt myself by starving or hitting myself. I really hope that some day I will be happy looking at the mirror and stop hating myself😣😣. Honestly loving and forgiving myself is way harder than loving or forgiving others😥😥😥😥. I love this song and it remind me that being me is the best thing I can do😚
JJ and Bethany make me cry again
Such an amazing song that after I heard it as a background in WorkoutforWomen, I googled the lyrics and it lead me in this amazing music video 🥺🤍
Wow! I just heard your songs now! And im a fan already..
i loved it i think Bethany is vary strong i am a big fan of your songs and Bethany i have a chicken named Beth short for Bethany i love your songs i listen to them over and over again your voice is a gift I'm glad that you have chosen to share your songs with us thank you so much
I'm the best me I know… I'm real..
Thank you for amazing song. 🤍🤍 It is really inspiring and touch deeply in my heart. Thinking this how i should do now. Be a better best person of myself and the best thing is actually myself not anyone.
I love Bethany !!!!!!!
MY FAVORITE SONG. YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW THIS REACHES ME EXACTLY WHERE I AM. THANK YOU.
I dont know what the best thing of me 😭😭😭😭 My life is just so so…
You songs really get to me in a good way and you as well as I do I care when I care so understanding is key
I try and try with with honest care to help others find hope in themselves tell me with pain is all I feel pray giving hope to someone becomes something that is natural
Thanks for this song😊☀️🌾🌊🙏🏻
"The world needs more people who are truly alive" the best thing I can be is me..such a beautiful story…
What a beautiful song. This song reminds me of my mom. We are not meant to be quite. We here for the Father in heaven to share the true love. He will come. And we will rejoice in that day.
I find you in spotify😊❤️
Say no to fear and yes to faith. Just believe and just be the best me you can be.
for the child of God, when suffering makes its way to our doorstep it comes bearing gifts.
what a beautiful song both in melody & words. Somehow you get a sense of love, acceptance, peace & courage to hope, to have faith, to live, to smile, to love, to give again. Thank you JJ ♥️
This song makes me think of life itself. The beauty, the pain, the blessings, the struggles..this life is truly a gift!
Love the song thank you
Beautiful footage, beautiful song! I love this!! If this is on iTunes I’m going to get this! ❤️
I'm proud of me I survived alot and I couldn't of done it without the love I got from my mountain and I wish I could be next to him as he loved a very strong woman and I will fight for our love I wont give up as I know we are meant to be
The song and message is genius. I love how you link Irenaeus' quote in your blog to the message of this song. So timely and true. Thank you for writing this song. I hope thousands of people get to hear it and can live fully alive by just being who God created them to be…unapologetically.
Thank you for your music, JJ, and for being YOU and singing only the song YOU can sing. I didn’t realize Bethany had gotten married and was a mom. An Underwater Wedding? So cool. Your songs bring comfort, hope, encouragement, and point us to our purpose: relationship with Jesus, Son of God, Most High. Almost the time of year for me to put your Unto Us cd in my cd-player on “repeat.” 😬
Thank you for blessing us by being true to God and to all He created you to be.
This brings me joy. Such raw, pure thoughts. Thankful for your gift of music, JJ! Speaks to the heart, speaks life!
