Black blazers in the sixth grade
While everyone dressed their age
I didn't want to be the same
Whispers in the hallways
They'd hurt but I didn't change
I didn't want to be the same
I've been overthinking since I was a baby
Trying to prove the world that I'd be something maybe
Who knew wanting to be different could be draining
Lonely when I'm on the outside
I tell myself I'm special
Special
Yeah, yeah
I don't wanna be ordinary
I tell myself I'm special
Why do I always have to feel so special
In my head at every party
They're wasted while I'm thinking
On the couch
A stranger's house
I tell myself I stand out
They just can't see me right now
Need to get out of this town
Get away
I can't stay
I've been overthinking since I was a baby
Trying to prove the world that I'd be something maybe
Who knew wanting to be different could be draining
Lonely when I'm on the outside
I tell myself I'm special
Special
Yeah, yeah
I don't wanna be ordinary
I tell myself I'm special
Why do I always have to feel so special
Why do I always have to feel so special
Why do I always have to feel so special
Yeah, I am a bit protective
I got that main character perspective
If I reject, can't get rejected
No
Yeah, I am a bit protective
I got that main character perspective
If I reject, can't get rejected
No, no, no
Lonely when I'm on the outside
I tell myself I'm special
Special
Yeah, yeah
I don't wanna be ordinary
I tell myself I'm special
Why do I always have to feel so special
Why do I always have to feel so special
Why do I always have to feel so special
Lonely when I'm on the outside
I tell myself I'm special
Why do I always have to feel so special
I tell myself I'm special
Why do I always have to feel so special
