You're not special
You're not useful
You're not normal
You're not sane
You're not clever or insightful
You're not calm or well behaved
Not a leader, not a hero
And not good at being brave
You're just not, no you're not, you are not
You're not beautiful or pretty
You're not flattered when they stare
You're not lovable or likable
Or wanted anywhere
You're not good enough
To get enough
To have enough to spare
You're just not, no you're not, you are not
But he loved you like you were something
He loved you like you were someone
He loved you like you were
And like you were not
Yeah he loved you, Nott
He's not handsome, he's not charming
Does not stand out in a crowd
Not a looker, not a fighter
Not too much of which he's proud
He's not fast or fit or strong or rich
Or tall or well endowed
He's just not, no he's not, he is not
But he's not selfish or deceitful
He's not hateful, he's not cruel
He's not someone who would hurt you
Or who makes you feel a fool
Not at all like all the boys
Who used to torture you in school
No he's not, he's just not, he is not
And he loved you like you were something
He loved you like you were someone
And you loved him for all the things he was
And for what he was not
Yeah you loved him, Nott
It's not right and it's not fair
And It's not what you'd always prayed
That someday you'd wake to find yourself
Somehow finally changed
Someone worth the love you've had
Instead you find you're more the same
And now you're not, you're still not, you are not
But you're not giving up on hoping
Not alone, at least not yet
You're not ready to go home
But you're not staying playing dead
You're dying to believe you'll live to be the lovely things he said
That you are, that you are, that you are
You hope you are, hope you are, hope you are
And he loved you like you were something
That you are, that you are, that you are
And he loved you like you were someone
That you are, that you are, that you are
That you are
That you are
That you are
