I'm not going to say it
Because I don't believe it
There's nothing special here
And I'm not going to pretend there is...

In a room filled with people,
Yet all alone inside
It's no way to live your life
It's no way to conduct yourself

(Chorus A 2x)
Stop ignoring all your options
While hating those around you...

What happens to you only matters
To you, your girlfriend, and a select group of kin
You're nothing special my friend,
The world won't pretend that you are

You've got to do it for yourself
No one can care about this for you
You're going to have to step up
Take some responsibility on your own

(Chorus B 2x)
Stop putting limits on the outcome
And blaming those beside you...

You're not fifteen anymore,
You can help yourself out
The power lies within you
And on how badly you want it to happen

Don't let anyone tell you what to do
You're not as stupid as you'd like us to believe...
You know what's expected of you now
So don't give up when you're finally on your feet

(Chorus C 2x)
Stop ignoring your own brilliance
While asking others to assist you

(Bridge)
I see myself in you
We face the same fate
You've come so far
You're halfway there

But I'm hoping you'll learn
What I realized for myself
You've got way too much potential
To go and fucking waste it

You're nothing special,
But you could be if you wanted to.
So tell me what it is,
That keeps on stopping you?

(Chorus D 4x)
Stop putting limits on yourself,
And use the talent God gave you...
