I never played by the hometown rules
Didn't fake a smile, didn't care to be cool
They said I'd crash, said I'd burn out fast
But I light my own fire, never needed their match
I've been the echo in a room full of noise
Never their favorite, never their choice
But I got a voice, and I'm learning to shout
I'm done tryna blend in, I'm the odd one out
Yeah, I'm a little too loud, a little too real
Got a crooked soul, but I know how to feel
Took the long road, never had a doubt
Some of us were born to stand out
So here's to the misfits, the wild and proud
Raising our flags in a paper crown
I ain't broken, just turned around
I was never made to fit in, I'm the odd one out
Used to hide all the parts they'd mock
Paint on a smile just to please the flock
Now I wear my flaws like a badge of gold
'Cause being strange is better than cold
I've been the punchline, the name they forgot
But I got a story, and it's all I got
So I'll scream it out, tear the silence down
With every scar that made me proud
Yeah, I'm a little too loud, a little too real
Got a crooked soul, but I know how to feel
Took the long road, never had a doubt
Some of us were born to stand out
So here's to the misfits, the wild and proud
Raising our flags in a paper crown
I ain't broken, just turned around
I was never made to fit in, I'm the odd one out
No shame in being strange
No fear in breaking chains
I'd rather be real than fade
In a world that's all the same
I'm a little too loud, a little too free
Got a heart full of fire and a need to be me
Never backed down, never sold out
Some of us were born to stand out
Here's to the loners, the black sheep crowd
We don't need your safe and sound
I ain't lost, I finally found
That I was made to be the odd one out
