00:00One, two, three, four.

00:20When you were here before
00:24Couldn't look you in the eye
00:29Just like an angel
00:32When I listen to that song it really makes me feel like
00:36I'm part of something larger.
00:39It's just a song that seems so universal
00:44and I have no idea how many teenagers who are in pain have listened to that song.
00:49You don't feel as lonely, you don't feel like an island in your suffering.
00:53You're kind of part of something bigger.
00:56But I'm a creep
01:00The fact that we're still singing this song
01:03makes me feel like the world's not a better place.
01:08And I thought like, if we all got together
01:12or we performed some sort of movement together

01:31I'd love to.
01:33I want you to know
01:38When I'm not around
01:42You're so fucking special
01:47I wish I was special
01:52But I'm a creep
01:57I'm a widow
02:01What the hell am I doing here?
02:07I don't belong here
02:12I don't belong here
02:22I don't belong here
