[Verse 1]
When you were here before Couldn't look you in the eye 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 fuckin' 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]
I 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 When I'm not around You're so fuckin' 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 Oh, oh
[Bridge]
She's running out the door She's running out She run, run, run, run Run
[Outro]
Whatever makes you happy Whatever you want You're so fuckin' special I wish I was special But I'm a creep I'm a weirdo What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here I don't belong here
