Creep Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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 fuckin' special

[Chorus]

But I'm a creep

I'm a weirdo

What the hell am I doin' here?

I don't belong here

[Verse 2]

I don't care if it hurts

I wanna 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 fuckin' special

I wish I was special

[Chorus]

But I'm a creep

I'm a weirdo

What the hell am I doin' here?

I don't belong here

Oh, oh

[Bridge]

She's runnin' out the door

She's runnin' out

She run, run, run, run

Run

[Verse 3]

Whatever makes you happy

Whatever you want

You're so fuckin' special

I wish I was special

[Chorus]

But I'm a creep

I'm a weirdo

What the hell am I doin' here?

I don't belong here

I don't belong here
