[Verse 1]
They had me pegged before I ever said a word
Too loud, too honest, too much to be heard
Sat me at the edge of every table, every room
Like my kind of different was something to assume
They passed the blame around and somehow it landed on me
For saying out loud what everybody else was too scared to see

[Chorus]
I'm the black sheep, the one you love to judge
Too stubborn to break, too honest to budge
You left me on the outside looking in for years
But I'm the first one that you call when everything disappears
I don't do fake, I don't do pretty lies
I'll look you dead in the face and tell you straight between the eyes
Yeah, I'm the black sheep — and I wear the name with honor
'Cause I'm the one still standing when the whole damn world burns down

[Verse 2]
You called me difficult, like speaking truth was a crime
While everybody nodded and nobody spoke their mind
I've got a heart so big it gets me in trouble every time
Gave it to people who couldn't see past what they wanted to find
Used me up and put me back out on the shelf
Like I was only worth something when you needed help

[Pre-Chorus]
I see through every single one of you
And I still show up — tell me, who does that for who?

[Bridge]
I never asked to be like this, I just refused to lie
While everybody smiled and looked the other way, I said why
Yeah it cost me every table, every room, every name
But I'd do it all again 'cause I'd do it all the same
Go ahead and write me off, I've watched you do it before
Just don't act surprised when you're knocking on my door

[Outro]
(Overdriven guitar, slide descent — single tom on the two — let it decay into room tone. No resolve.)
Go ahead and call… I'll answer like I always do
Not because you deserve it — because that's just what I do
That's just who I am
Black sheep 'til the end
[Hard Stop]
