[Verse 1] Oh look, there he goes—too loud again Making jokes like shields, offending friends Wore a pink coat to the funeral last spring Yeah, I get it, I’m not your thing Talk too fast, laugh too sharp Always play the fool, always miss the mark I’m not “quirky,” I’m “concerning” Guess my flavor's still unlearning [Pre-Chorus] They point and whisper like it's cute Like I’m a zoo, not a person in a suit But I’ve heard it all, trust me, babe I'm the punchline that never gets paid [Chorus] What a freak, that’s me Dancing off-beat, living off-key Too much glitter, not enough grace Too real for the mask, too fake for the face Yeah, what a freak—I know But I learned to smile through every “no” If I’m not your type, that’s fine, that’s chic I’m not here to fit in—what a freak [Post-Chorus – Spoken, Casual] Thanks for noticing. Really. It means a lot. Tell your friends I said hi. [Verse 2] I tried to shrink, once or twice Watered down my fire, played nice Bit my tongue till it bled approval Didn’t help—still felt removal Tried the dress code, missed the part Turns out beige don't match my heart So now I dress in contradiction Loud in color, soft in fiction [Pre-Chorus 2] You say I’m odd like it’s critique But weird’s a language—some of us speak And maybe I’m not what you expect But I’d rather be strange than self-incorrect [Chorus 2] What a freak, right here With mismatched shoes and overshared fear Too many thoughts, not enough chill Too tired to fake what I don’t feel What a freak—sure, I’ll bite If I can’t be right, I’ll be bright If the mold breaks when I speak— That’s not damage, babe. That’s me. [Bridge – Quiet, Almost a Whisper] Yeah, I hear it Behind the teeth, behind the smile Every “you’re brave” Just means “you’re vile” But if I’m the joke, then fine—I’m loud At least I’m not buried in your crowd [Final Chorus – Confident, Wry, Real] What a freak—own it all The trip, the fall, the curtain call You can mock my ways, mock my name But I’m not playin’ your shame game What a freak—and proud to be Every odd piece stitched in me If I’m the strange one in your clique— Good. That’s power. What a freak.
