What You Need Me to Be

One black sheep in a field of white
The biggest thorn in your side
That's how I feel every time
You tell me how to live my life and I'm
Never gonna be what you need me to be
I'm never gonna live up to the standards of society

But I'm happier than I've ever been
Tell me how is that a sin
Everything looks better in colored lights
But you only see in black and white and it's so
Hard on me
Cause I'm not what you need me to be

Tried once or twice to do it right
Followed the rules but I paid the price
Happiness is worth more I say
Well honey that ain't the right way and I
Don't understand why we all gotta judge each other
We weren't meant to do more than love one another

And I'm happier than I've ever been
Tell me how is that a sin
Everything looks better in colored lights
But you only see in black and white and it's so
Hard on me
Cause I'm not what you need me to be

One black sheep in a field of white
The biggest thorn in your side
The flower on everybody's wall
Is now gonna grow and stand tall

Because I'm happier than I've ever been
I know that's not a sin
Everything looks better in colored lights
You could see it if you'd open your eyes
