Lyrics

[Intro]
Special
[Verse 1]
Woke up this mornin' to somebody judgin' me
No surprise they judgin' me, don't know who I'm 'posed to be
I'm just actin' up, I'm rash as fuck, and never sayin' sorry
Found out in the end that I can only do it for me
You call it sensitive and I call it superpower
You just lack empathy 'cause you think it gives you power
All I know is only God can judge me
I don't hide my heart, I wear it on me
[PreChorus]
I'm used to feelin' alone, oh
So I thought that I'd let you know
[Chorus]
In case nobody told you today
You're special
In case nobody made you believe
Nobody, no, no
You're special
Well, I will always love you the same
You're special
I'm so glad that you're still with us
So glad, so glad, so glad
Broken, but damn, you're still perfect
[Verse 2]
Special
[Verse 3]
Could you imagine a world where everybody's the same
And you could cancel a girl 'cause she just wanted to change?
How could you throw fuckin' stones if you ain't been through her pain?
That's why we feel so alone, that's why we feel so much shame, hmm
[PreChorus]
I'm used to feelin' alone, oh
So I thought that I'd let you know
[Chorus]
In case nobody told you today
You're special
In case nobody made you believe
Nobody made you believe
You're special
Well, I will always love you the same
I'll always love you
You're special
I'm so glad that you're still with us
Broken, but damn, you're still perfect
[Bridge]
I know that I'm not alone, oh
No, you're not alone
So I thought that I'd let you know
Uh, yeah, yeah
Know
[Chorus]
In case nobody told you today
Nobody told you, nobody
You're special
Yeah
In case nobody made you believe
Oh-oh
You're special
Yeah
Well, I will always love you the same
I'll always love you, I'll always love you
You're special
I'm so glad that you're still with us
I'm so glad, so glad, so glad
Broken, but damn, you're still perfect
I'm so glad, so glad, so glad
[Outro]
Special
You are, you are, you are so
Special
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, hey
