[Verse 1]
I've lived life in a single room
Hidin' my scars from the moon
I dream my dreams in the light
Rehearse the lines I already know
Basking in the TV's glow
Pray that tonight is the night

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, there's gotta be more than this
The future hanging on a stranger's kiss
Could it be I'm not so alone?

[Chorus]
I'm someone special, I'm just in disguise
I may not be perfect in everyone's eyes
It may not be tomorrow, but I still believe
There's someone special waiting out there for me

[Verse 2]
I guess the joke hasn't hit me yet
'Cause I'm still waitin' on my Juliet
She must be held up somewhere
Ooh, she'll be the air I breathe
She'll come for good and never want to leave
I'll love her only, I swear

[Pre-Chorus]
People say there must be something wrong
For me to be all alone so long
And their words hit me like a stone

[Chorus]
I'm someone special, I'm just in disguise
I may not be perfect in everyone's eyes
It may not be tomorrow, but I still believe
There's someone special waiting out there for me

[Bridge]
Lying in bed in a cold, cold sweat
Dreamin' 'bout women I'll never get
I won't always be sleepin' alone

[Chorus]
I'm someone special, I'm just in disguise
I may not be perfect in everyone's eyes
And it may not be tonight, but I still believe
There's someone special waiting out there for me

[Outro]
Yeah, there's someone special waiting out there for me
Waiting out there for me
She's waiting out there for me, mhm
For me
