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
