[Verse 1]
I don't want to be seen in this shape I'm in
I don't want you to see how depressed I've been, yeah
You were never the high one, never wanted to die young
I don't want you to see all the scars within

[Chorus]
So, tell me why (Oh why, oh why)
Why am I such a freak?
You're out of your mind (Oh my, oh my)
Who the fuck are you to judge me?
And I told you I'd be different
And I told you I was wild
You're stuck in denial
Yeah, I think that maybe you're the freak

[Verse 2]
I keep thinking about what we could have been
If we hadn't been caught in what should have been, yeah
Oh, we used to be dancing, never cared about nothing
I don't know when we got all these scars within

[Chorus]
So, tell me why (Oh why, oh why)
Why am I such a freak?
You're out of your mind (Oh my, oh my), no
Who the fuck are you to judge me?
And I told you I'd be different
And I told you I was wild
You're stuck in denial
Yeah, I think that maybe you're the freak

[Post-Chorus]
Hmm, yeah
Yeah, I think that maybe you're the freak
You're stuck in denial
Yeah, I think that maybe you're the freak

[Outro]
Oh, yeah, I think that maybe you're the freak
Oh why, oh why
Hmm
Oh my, oh my
Yeah, I think that maybe you're the freak
Oh why, oh why
Oh my, oh my
Yeah, I think that maybe you're the freak

Tim Bergling, better known as Avicii (b. September 8, 1989 – † April 20, 2018), was a Swedish record producer and DJ who took the EDM scene by storm and arguably redefined the entire genre with releases “Levels” and “Wake Me Up.” Melodically gifted, he infused new sounds into the world of electronic music and transformed it into a universally recognizable genre.

Avicii’s name was derived from a discussion with his friend, who explained to him that Avichi was the lowest level of Buddhist hell. He chose the name because he liked the sound and his government name had already been taken on Myspace. Bergling collaborated with a wide array of artists in genres that touch every aspect of music. His musical success was proven with numerous multi-platinum releases as well as several number-one spots across charts globally.

Shortly after playing his 2016 Ultra Music Festival set, he announced that he would retire from live performances after the calendar year was up. Avicii’s sound was unique and his drive was untouchable, infusing his unique sound into his music.
