You're Not Special, Babe

If you could see yourself
From the outside in
You’d say you don’t have to be more thin, it’s ok
And if you could see yourself
From above the sky
I think you’d say that you’re doing fine
Life is short until it’s not
Honestly, it’s kinda long
It takes a while to come around
People always let you down
Find the ones that get you
Stick to them like hot glue
Dance if you want to
You’re not special, babe (no!)
I know you feel like your life is one big mistake
I am right there on your side
You’re not special, babe
'Cause we all we go from heartbreak to happy to heartbreak
Some things just don’t change
You, you’re an adult now
Make your own to-do list
And eat whatever you want for breakfast
Get a job just to get by
Spend your money till you die
Some people don’t stick around
But don’t let yourself down
Find the ones that get you
Stick to them like hot glue
And dance if you want to
'Cause you’re not special, babe (no!)
I know you feel like your life is one big mistake
I am right there on your side
You’re not special, babe
We all we go from heartbreak to happy to heartbreak
Some things just don’t change
Everyone cries, everyone lies
Everyone hates you
Everyone’s so scared of the future, it’s true
Everyone fucks up and then breaks up
And then makes up everyone has days
Where they don’t wanna wake up
Everyone loves, everyone loses
Then they’re on their own
When everyone else is covered in bruises, but we feel alone
And everyone hears us, but they all seem to ignore us
Everyone else wants to get right back to the chorus
'Cause you’re not special, babe (no!)
I know you feel like your life is one big mistake
I Am right there on your side
You’re not special, babe
We all we go from heartbreak to happy to heartbreak
Some things just don’t change
