Alone

[00:08.06] "I'll only go to school if you give me a reason

[00:10.80] The kids are really mean and I already know

[00:13.55] All the things they're teaching"

[00:16.80] Hopped in the car, mama let him play hookey

[00:19.55] Missed the first hour just to get a cup of coffee

[00:22.31] She's the only one who saw who he was

[00:24.80] No one else could read him

[00:28.05] Showing up late but he makes it to class

[00:30.55] Just to stare out the window and the clock in the back

[00:33.56] He daydreamed away to a sky so gray

[00:36.30] Everything's simple, it's driving him mental

[00:39.30] Wishing everyday that something would change

[00:41.80] Instead his dad makes him play ball by the bay

[00:44.80] And every time he cries, father rolls his eyes, saying

[00:47.56] "Son it's all your fault, how come you never try?"

[00:51.80] He does all that he should

[00:53.31] Why is he misunderstood?

[00:56.30] This is a story 'bout a broken boy

[00:58.80] With his headphones in just to block out the noise

[01:01.80] Of everyone around him telling him the way to go

[01:05.82] So he walks the world alone

[01:08.06] Wondering if it gets better

[01:10.30] Or if he's always gonna feel empty forever

[01:13.30] So he gets lost tryna find another way back home

[01:17.05] As he walks the world alone

[01:21.31] Fifteen years and he's drowning his sorrows

[01:24.30] Smoking weed, drinking cheap liquor out the bottle

[01:27.06] With a bunch of fake friends 'cause he tried to fit in

[01:29.55] But it wasn't working

[01:32.80] Ran in with the law 'bout a dozen of times

[01:35.55] Nothing too bad, just a few suburban crimes

[01:38.30] Still he says to himself

[01:40.05] "What are you doing, you don't deserve this

[01:41.55] Don't you know nobody will ever understand

[01:47.30] The person that you are, learn to hold your own hand

[01:49.82] Get your shit together and lose the weight

[01:52.30] You'll never be what you want, no, not with that face"

[01:55.31] He started writing all of his thoughts on paper,

[01:58.30] Realized music made life so much greater

[02:01.05] 100 pounds down, he looks so different now

[02:03.80] As he plans his escape from a crooked hometown

[02:08.30] He does all that he should

[02:09.80] Why is he misunderstood?

[02:12.55] This is a story 'bout a broken boy

[02:15.05] With his headphones in just to block out the noise

[02:18.05] Of everyone around him telling him the way to go

[02:22.30] So he walks the world alone

[02:24.31] Wondering if it gets better

[02:26.55] Or if he's always gonna feel empty forever

[02:29.30] So he gets lost tryna find another way back home

[02:33.56] As he walks the world alone, alone, alone

[02:46.32] 21 years and he's on the right path

[02:49.05] But sometimes he wonders if he grew up too fast

[02:52.05] And missed out on the little things

[02:54.30] All of the little things (haha, yeah right)

[02:57.57] Who is he kidding? Surely not himself

[03:00.30] But sometimes he wonders if there's somebody else

[03:03.55] Who takes the same road but he'll never know

[03:07.55] 'Cause he walks the world alone

[03:10.06] This is a story 'bout a broken boy

[03:11.55] With his headphones in just to block out the noise

[03:14.55] Of everyone around him telling him the way to go

[03:18.30] So he walks the world alone

[03:20.80] Wondering if it gets better

[03:23.05] Or if he's always gonna feel empty forever

[03:25.80] So he gets lost tryna find another way back home

[03:29.80] As he walks the world alone, alone, alone

[03:41.05] As he walks the world alone, alone, alone

[03:52.55] Yeah, he walks the world alone
