Outcast Lyrics

Since I can remember
Guess I've been a problem
Never had a filter
Never been the popular one
To sugar coat what I know is undeniable
I just can't hide it
I wear it like a letter

Everywhere I go
Everyone is talking
I can feel them staring
They hope I'm just pretending
And giving up my power
Caving into pressure
I'm not living for them
I live for something better

I'm not good enough
I'm not what they want
But let me tell you what
I know who I am
So just throw me out
For not fitting in
I will stand my ground
And be an outcast

So-o what if I'm an outcast
So-o what if I'm an outcast

So what if I don't look the
Part I'm supposed to play
What if I don't follow
All the rules they make
They think I should be perfect
They love it when I mess up
No grace in case I blow it
A good girl shouldn't need it

I'm not good enough
I'm not what they want
But let me tell you what
I know who I am
So just throw me out

For not fitting in
I will stand my ground
And be an outcast

So-o what if I'm an outcast
So-o what if I'm an outcast
So slow and everybody's so fast
So-o what if I'm an outcast

I try to play nice
I don't want to fight
But I won't be gray
When it's all black and white
Cause what I believe
Is what makes me strong
If I don't belong
I hold onto love

I try to play nice
I don't want to fight
But I won't be gray
When it's all black and white
Cause what I believe
Is what makes me strong
If I don't belong
I hold onto love

So-o what if I'm an outcast (Oh)
So-o what if I'm an outcast (So what if I'm an outcast)
So slow and everybody's so fast
No matter what it costs to be an outcast

I'm not good enough
I'm not what they want
But let me tell you what
I know who I am
So just throw me out
For not fitting in (I don't wanna fit in)
I will stand my ground
To be an outcast

At first glance, Kerrie Roberts is the unassuming girl with a huge voice. But once her voice captures you, it is clear there’s much more going on here. Dynamic yet intimate, uniquely emotive and soulful, her self-titled debut reveals the heart of an empathetic artist.

These are the songs of a distinctly relational and prolific songwriter. “My father is a pastor, so my whole family has been shaped by the church,” says Kerrie. “From a young age, my parents always taught me to reach out to the broken and to those who need hope.” With her first performance at the age of 5, Kerrie grew up singing in church, playing piano and leading worship. She wrote her first songs in high school. The 10 songs on Kerrie Roberts reflect the redemptive seeds planted during those years and into her young adulthood.

Thematically, the album explores a thoughtful side of faith, hope and love—the acknowledgment that an authentic life of faith isn’t void of suffering, the purpose amidst pain, the promise that a breakthrough is coming, and the motivating power of God’s love. Says Kerrie, “I want every song to leave people with a sense of purpose—a call to action, a realization of a truth, a promotion of hope and healing.”
