Since I can remember, guess I’ve been a problem
Never had a filter, never been the popular one
To sugar coat what I know is undeniable
I just can’t hide it, I wear it like a “letter”
Everywhere I go, everyone is talking
I can feel them staring, they hope I’m just pretending
And giving up my power, caving in to pressure
I’m not living for them, I live for something better
I’m not good enough, I’m not what they want
But let me tell you what, I know who I am
So just throw me out for not fitting in
I will stand my ground and be an outcast
So what if I’m an outcast
So what if I’m an outcast
So what if I don’t look the part I’m supposed to play
What if I don’t follow all the rules they make
They think I should be perfect
They love it when I mess up
No grace in case I blow it
"A good girl shouldn’t need it"
So what if I’m an outcast
So what if I’m an outcast
So slow when everybody’s so fast
So what if I’m an outcast
I try to play nice, I don’t want to fight
But I won’t be gray when it’s all black and white
‘Cause what I believe is what makes me strong
If I don’t belong, I hold on to love
So what if I’m an outcast
So what if I’m an outcast
So slow when everybody’s so fast
No matter what it costs, I’ll be an outcast
