[Verse] Never been part of any crowd, Just an outcast standing twice as proud. To the far side of the room I fade, In the quiet shadows that I made. [Verse] Thought I’d always be completely unheard, They twist up every single spoken word. Misunderstood at its highest degree, Trapped in a version they made of me. [Pre-Chorus] Go break my wings so I can’t fly away, Leave me behind in the cold and the gray. Leaving me to rust, out on the shelf, Collecting dust all alone by myself. [Chorus] I’m an outsider, bruised and misplaced, Marks of a fighter, and pain on my face. But I’m not done yet, I refuse to break, I’ve got more to gain from the steps I take. Even in pain, I’m choosing my views, I’ve got more to gain, I’m refusing to lose. [Verse] They’d rather see me shatter like glass, Hoping that my courage would pass. Beat up and battered, beginning to burn, Felt myself sinking, but now it’s my turn. [Verse] I’ll turn around and speak words unheard, No longer shaken by every harsh word. I won’t sit quietly back in the line, I won’t lay aching and wasting my time. [Pre-Chorus] Go break my wings so I can’t fly away, Leave me behind in the cold and the gray. Leaving me to rust, out on the shelf, Collecting dust all alone by myself. [Chorus] I’m an outsider, bruised and misplaced, Marks of a fighter, and pain on my face. But I’m not done yet, I refuse to break, I’ve got more to gain from the steps I take. Even in pain, I’m choosing my views, I’ve got more to gain, I’m refusing to lose. [Bridge] But glass when it shatters can turn into blades, I’m reshaping shadows, rewriting the shades. The fire they started is clearing the air, I’m finally breathing, and I’m already there. [Verse] Finding my purpose and finding my place, Finding a crowd that can look at my face. People who listen and want me around, Lifting me up when I’m close to the ground. No longer a burden, no longer a ghost, Finding the voices that value me most. [Final Chorus] I’m an outsider, bruised and misplaced, Marks of a fighter, and pain on my face. But I’m not done yet, I refuse to break, I’ve got more to gain from the steps I take. Even in pain, I’m far from undone, I’ve got more to gain, and I’ve already won. [Outro] No longer collecting dust on the wall, Standing right up and I’m standing up tall. Watch me fly away. Watch me fly away.
