Piano.

I'm a black key on a piano.
If you hear me by myself, I sound like a wrong note.
No one is used to the girl who publicly makes mistakes.
The others have perfect pitch,
But I'm gonna make the best music.

...No one is ever gonna see that.

Because I'm the black key.
I look fine, until you hear what I have to play.
Then, I'm too different from the rest of you.
Every time I'm played, the people cringe.
I'm used to feeling isolated.

Alone.

Unwanted.

Wrong.

Surrounded by those who seem perfect.

But in the end..

You realize I'm not the only one.
There are so many more just like me.
They just go unrecognized.
At least, not recognized as much as the others.
One day, the others are gonna see.
They're gonna realize that we may be different,
But we all play from the same hands.
As a matter of fact, that music is nothing without the "sharps" and "flats."


I'm proud.
To be that black key.
