I make friends so easily But just as fast, I let them go I’m an easy-going man, you see But some things I just can’t let show I’ve never been called best friend Never the favorite son No I love you from my family Maybe I’m the outcast one Abandoned by my father Raised by my grandma’s hand Strict walls built around me But I learned to take a stand I’m the black sheep, walking alone Carrying scars that no one has known I smile, I laugh, I play my part But there’s a shadow deep in my heart I’ve lost the ones I loved before Now I’m closing every door Shaped by the pain, the fears, the lies This is me, beneath the skies I fit in quick, I talk with ease Polite and kind, they say I’m fun But trouble found me, brought me to my knees A brawler’s past I can’t outrun Ninety percent of my friends are virtual now Screens replace the touch I crave They call me antisocial, but how? I’m just a man who’s learned to behave Reserved and quiet, I seek my peace Away from crowds, where chaos ceases They throw their words, they don’t understand The depth of a soul shaped by life’s demand I’m the black sheep, walking alone Carrying scars that no one has known I smile, I laugh, I play my part But there’s a shadow deep in my heart I’ve lost the ones I loved before Now I’m closing every door Shaped by the pain, the fears, the lies This is me, beneath the skies Every step, every fall Made me who I am through it all I’m not broken, just rearranged A soul transformed, forever changed I’m the black sheep, walking alone Carrying scars that no one has known I smile, I laugh, I play my part But there’s a shadow deep in my heart I’ve lost the ones I loved before Now I’m closing every door Shaped by the pain, the fears, the lies This is me, beneath the skies This is me, beneath the skies A man who’s learned to survive This is me, beneath the skies A story of a life, alive
