Black Sheep, Bright Light

[Verse 1] Got a phone full of tiny doors Little blue squares that I can’t ignore Everybody says “you should be there more” But no one ever taught me what I’m reaching for I’m a black sheep scrolling through the crowd All these smiling faces feel too loud I was the kid left out on the ground While they played inside I just watched the clouds [Chorus] I’ve been trying to be perfect for everyone But I’m bleeding in the pixels when the day is done I was born the black sheep Left outside the frame Still I feel this little pilot flame And I know my light My light needs to be shown to the world Even if the world never wanted this girl [Verse 2] They say “share your life Make a perfect grid” But I’ve spent my life trying to stay hidden If nobody liked me when I was a kid Why would they listen to these songs I did? I’m a singer with shaky hands Not a genius with a master plan Just a lonely heart One second chance Trying to turn this hurt into something that stands [Chorus] I’ve been trying to be perfect for everyone But I’m bleeding in the pixels when the day is done I was born the black sheep Left outside the frame Still I feel this little pilot flame And I know my light My light needs to be shown to the world Even if the world never wanted this girl [Bridge] What if I don’t have to please them all? (oh) What if I just answer my own call? If I sing for the one kid against the wall Who thinks they’re nothing I’ll prove them wrong [Chorus] I’m done trying to be perfect for everyone I’ll be honest I’ll be broken I’ll still stay undone I was born the black sheep That’s my saving grace I’ll carry this little fire into every place ‘Cause I know my light My light’s gonna shine on the world Even if the world never wanted this girl (oh) My light’s gonna shine on the world
