[Verse 1]
At the family table
I sit by the edge
Same old story
Same old judgment
They like perfect pictures
Frames on the wall
I’m the one that slips
Through the cracks and all
[Pre-Chorus]
I tried their shoes on
Still walked wrong
Tried to blend in
But I never belonged
[Chorus]
I’m the black sheep
Yeah, that’s me
I’m the black sheep
Set me free
I don’t fit the mold
I won’t break in two
I’m the black sheep
And I’m still true
[Verse 2]
Uncle says “boy, why”
Mom just looks away
I wear their questions
Like a winter coat all day
Cousins get the sunshine
I get the rain
But I know my name
And I know my pain
[Pre-Chorus]
I tried their shoes on
Still walked wrong
Tried to blend in
But I never belonged
[Chorus]
I’m the black sheep
Yeah, that’s me
I’m the black sheep
Set me free
I don’t fit the mold
I won’t break in two
I’m the black sheep
And I’m still true
[Bridge]
Maybe I was born
To turn a different page
Maybe they call it wrong
When it’s just my shape
I won’t wear their crown
I won’t play that part
I’ve got my father’s eyes
And my own damn heart
[Final Chorus]
I’m the black sheep
Yeah, that’s me
I’m the black sheep
Set me free
I don’t fit the mold
I won’t break in two
I’m the black sheep
And I’m still true
I’m the black sheep
Still coming through
