Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
You were here before, couldn't look you in the eyes
You're just like an angel, your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather in a beautiful world
I wish I was special, you're so very special
[Chorus]
But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
[Verse 2]
Don't care if it hurts, I wanna have control
I want a perfect body, I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice that I'm not around
You're so very special, I wish I was special
[Chorus]
But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here, no, no
[Bridge]
She's running out again
She's running out
Run, run, run, run
Ooh-ooh
[Chorus]
But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
[Outro]
Whatever makes you happy, whatever you want
You're so very special, I wish I was special
