Lyrics

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
And I wish I was special
You're so fuckin' special
But Im a creep, I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
I dont care if it hurts
I want to 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
But Im a creep, Im a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I dont belong here
Shes running out again
Shes running out
Shes run run run running out...
Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
Youre so fuckin special
I wish I was special...
But Im a creep, Im a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I dont belong here
I dont belong here
