[Verse 1] My life was never simple I was always treated different Started from childhood to adult Everything was my fault No one even truly cared Just that unsettling stare I kept the hurt inside my chest Like I had failed the test [Pre-Chorus] Being abused by my own brother When I told my mother She didn’t believe me She didn’t believe me My uncle did the same thing And I was only a child I kept calling out for someone But the house stayed wild [Chorus] I was the dark sheep I was the dark sheep No one believed me I was the dark sheep I was the dark sheep But I survived the grief [Verse 2] Treated like a stepchild Like I didn’t belong So I packed up my hurt And I learned to run along It was too late for innocence It was already gone Still I’m here with my name Still I’m singing on [Pre-Chorus] Being abused by my own brother When I told my mother She didn’t believe me She didn’t believe me My uncle did the same thing And I was only a child I kept calling out for someone But the house stayed wild [Chorus] I was the dark sheep I was the dark sheep No one believed me I was the dark sheep I was the dark sheep But I survived the grief [Bridge] Now I see it clear It was never my shame I was carrying their damage I was carrying their blame If you feel this too Hold on to your name You were never broken You were never the shame [Final Chorus] I was the dark sheep I was the dark sheep No one believed me I was the dark sheep I was the dark sheep But I survived the grief I was the dark sheep I was the dark sheep Now I believe me
