You're Weird - Behind the Song
You’re weird. You fear it’s what they’re all thinking of you. It’s true; so why don’t you wear it with pride? Don’t hide, don’t leave any doubt, make it clear. You’re weird.
I’ve always felt a bit weird; out of place. Maybe we all feel that way, but I can only speak for myself. The thing is, the feeling has always been there and I now realise it will never go away. So, maybe it would have been better for me to have embraced it more and worried less about whether others would notice.
Lyrics
It’s the feeling you get when you regret what you let yourself say or do
It’s the way that you think you’re out of sync with the people you see around you
Perpetual doubt, the odd one out, so you try to stay on your guard
Don’t let it drop, the shame might stop but the keeping it up is hard
You’re weird
(You fear) it’s what they’re all thinking of you
(It’s true) so why don’t you wear it with pride?
(Don’t hide) don’t leave any doubt, make it clear
You’re weird
Behaviour is learnt when you get burnt
Every time when you feel the flame
You learn how to hide your stranger side so they won’t notice you’re not the same
You’re in their sight but not quite right
That’s the story inside your head
A word away from exposé so you go it alone instead
You’re weird…
The pictures you paint, relentless restraint
It’s utterly exhausting and ultimately pointless
You’re weird…
