Verse 1 Hey! Don’t you call me “special” don't you know what that word does it sets me apart alright thinking that I'm a lost cause I’ve heard that word since I was ten, reserved for kids who don't fit in "specials" kinda hard to take used to cause all my heartache [Chorus] He said, "I don't mean 'special' like you’re slow or like you're wild I mean "special" like a newborns smile only see it for a while Not 'special' like a label, but 'special' like the kind Of once-in-a-lifetime wonder that most people never find Yeah, you're special like the first star, wish upon its shining light The kind of special I never want to be without again alright Verse 2 I looked at him and realized he wasn't looking at my flaws He was seeing something "special" just because of who I was Like a encore for a job well done his kind of "special" yea it might be fun this kind of special I can handle when I used to want to run [Repeat Chorus] [Bridge] It’s funny how a word can change its colors in the light From a shadow in the corner to a beacon in the night. [Final Chorus] Now I love it when he says I’m special, not like slow, not like wild But that special kind of special not what I heard as a child Not 'special' like a label, but 'special' like the kind Of once-in-a-lifetime wonder that I'm so glad he could find Yeah, I'm special like the first star, who hears my wish caught in the wind The kind of special I'll never run from again. he said, yea that kind of special I never want to be..... without again.... [End Song]
