Alone

[00:01.60] Eight years old and he's kicking and screaming

[00:03.60] "I'll only go to school if you give me a reason

[00:06.50] The kids are really mean and I already know

[00:09.00] All the things they're teaching"

[00:11.40] Hopped in the car, mama let him play hookey

[00:14.00] Missed the first hour just to get a cup of coffee

[00:16.40] She's the only one who saw who he was

[00:18.00] No one else could read him

[00:21.00] Showing up late but he makes it to class

[00:24.00] Just to stare out the window and the clock in the back

[00:25.70] He daydreamed away to a sky so gray

[00:29.00] Everything's simple, it's driving him mental

[00:31.00] Wishing everyday that something would change

[00:33.00] Instead his dad makes him play ball by the bay

[00:36.40] And every time he cries, father rolls his eyes, saying

[00:38.00] "Son it's all your fault, how come you never try?"

[00:42.50] He does all that he should

[00:43.50] Why is he misunderstood?

[00:46.00] This is a story 'bout a broken boy

[00:47.60] With his headphones in just to block out the noise

[00:51.30] Of everyone around him telling him the way to go

[00:54.00] So he walks the world alone

[00:56.00] Wondering if it gets better

[00:58.00] Or if he's always gonna feel empty forever

[01:00.00] So he gets lost tryna find another way back home

[01:04.00] As he walks the world alone

[01:07.50] Fifteen years and he's drowning his sorrows

[01:09.50] Smoking weed, drinking cheap liquor out the bottle

[01:12.00] With a bunch of fake friends 'cause he tried to fit in

[01:14.60] But it wasn't working

[01:17.00] Ran in with the law 'bout a dozen of times

[01:20.20] Nothing too bad, just a few suburban crimes

[01:21.70] Still he says to himself

[01:23.70] "What are you doing, you don't deserve this

[01:27.00] Don't you know nobody will ever understand

[01:30.00] The person that you are, learn to hold your own hand

[01:31.70] Get your shit together and lose the weight

[01:33.30] You'll never be what you want, no, not with that face"

[01:37.00] He started writing all of his thoughts on paper,

[01:40.00] Realized music made life so much greater

[01:42.00] 100 pounds down, he looks so different now

[01:44.00] As he plans his escape from a crooked hometown

[01:47.60] He does all that he should

[01:49.00] Why is he misunderstood?

[01:52.00] This is a story 'bout a broken boy

[01:53.40] With his headphones in just to block out the noise

[01:57.00] Of everyone around him telling him the way to go

[02:00.00] So he walks the world alone

[02:02.00] Wondering if it gets better

[02:03.40] Or if he's always gonna feel empty forever

[02:06.00] So he gets lost tryna find another way back home

[02:10.00] As he walks the world alone, alone, alone

[02:21.40] 21 years and he's on the right path

[02:23.00] But sometimes he wonders if he grew up too fast

[02:26.00] And missed out on the little things

[02:27.50] All of the little things (haha, yeah right)

[02:30.00] Who is he kidding? Surely not himself

[02:33.40] But sometimes he wonders if there's somebody else

[02:36.00] Who takes the same road but he'll never know

[02:39.00] 'Cause he walks the world alone

[02:40.50] This is a story 'bout a broken boy

[02:42.00] With his headphones in just to block out the noise

[02:45.00] Of everyone around him telling him the way to go

[02:48.00] So he walks the world alone

[02:51.00] Wondering if it gets better

[02:52.40] Or if he's always gonna feel empty forever

[02:55.00] So he gets lost tryna find another way back home

[02:58.00] As he walks the world alone, alone, alone (Does it get better? Does it get better?)

[03:09.00] As he walks the world alone, alone, so alone

[03:18.50] Yeah, he walks the world alone
