Special

I'm not special Who the hell am I to think I'm special? I'm not so well (thanks for asking) But you probably figured, "What else is new?" I try my best still But I find I wind up in some mess You'll keep my head filled With the notion that I don't deserve this life that I've built I'm not special, special Don't know why I thought I could be someone I'm no one To anyone who knows me, I'm a burden I'm certain the only thing I'm good for is hurtin' the ones I love I wanna be special But I don't know if it's worth all of this stress You don't know my struggle 'cause I don't tell it If I did, I really don't think you'd be bothered to hear it anyway If I sang a song, would you listen? Or would you tell me that I'm terrible? (Tell me that I'm terrible) If I played along to ease the friction Would you still tell me that I'm terrible? (Tell me that I'm terrible) Oh, I'm not special, special Don't know why I thought I could be someone I'm no one To anyone who knows me, I'm a burden I'm certain the only thing I'm good for is hurtin' the ones I love But the ones I love, they really love me The ones I love, they truly know me You drag my name, it's kinda funny 'Cause my name makes you lots of money I guess I'm special, special Who the hell are you to say I'm not special? Oh well, got everybody talking in this hellhole I'm the devil, Dante wrote me into his inferno Here we go, again Is this what you came for? You paid for? To watch somebody burn and crumble and stumble Then fumble all my words and let you twist them and listen To all the ugly things you tell me I am I'm tryin' so hard to understand how I'm the master manipulator Who couldn't fool anyone The monster, reciprocator shot no bullets from my gun The drama queen who never seems to get applause from anyone I won't be who you say I am If I sang a song, would you listen? Or would you tell me that I'm terrible? I won't play along, this game is twisted And I think that would make me terrible That would make me-
