Creep
Original Translation of Slang

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
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 fuckin' 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.
She's running out again,
She's running out She's run run run running out...

Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so fuckin' 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.

 

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 I wish I were (more info)sh I was special
so fuckin' special really special (more info)
a creep a strange, disgusting or annoying person
a weirdo a strange person
the hell this doesn't really have a menaing by itself. It's used for emphasis

NOTES:
*I wish I was
Gramatically speaking, the correct form is "I wish I were." However, many Americans use "was" in conversation.
*
so fucking special
Usually, the word fuck isn't very nice, but here, it's just used for emphasis, like very.
