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

I wish I was special

You're so fucking 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 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 fucking 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

Oh, oh

She's running out again

She's running out

She run, run, run, run

Run

Whatever makes you happy

Whatever you want

You're so fucking 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

Turkish Translation

Sen buradayken

Gözlerinin içine bakamadım

Sen bir melek gibisin

Tenin beni ağlatıyor

Bir tüy gibi süzülüyorsun

Güzel bir dünyada

Keşke özel olsaydım

Sen çok ama çok özelsin

Ama ben bir ucubeyim

Ben bir garibim

Burada ne yapıyorum?

Buraya ait değilim

Acı verse de umurumda değil

Kontrol sahibi olmak istiyorum

Mükemmel bir vücut istiyorum

Mükemmel bir ruh istiyorum

Fark etmeni istiyorum

Yanımda olmadığımda

Sen çok ama çok özelsin

Keşke özel olsaydım

Ama ben bir ucubeyim

Ben bir garibim

Burada ne yapıyorum?

Buraya ait değilim

Oh, oh

O tekrar kaçıyor

O kaçıyor

Kaçıyor, kaçıyor, kaçıyor, kaçıyor

Kaç

Seni mutlu eden neyse

İstediğin neyse

Sen çok ama çok özelsin

Keşke özel olsaydım

Ama ben bir ucubeyim

Ben bir garibim

Burada ne yapıyorum?

Buraya ait değilim

Buraya ait değilim
