Nico Collins - Alone (Lyrics) 🎵

[00:06.03] Eight years old and he’s kicking and screaming

[00:08.28] “I’ll only go to school if you give me a reason

[00:11.28] The kids are really mean and I already know all the things they’re teaching”

[00:16.79] Hopped in the car mama let him play hookey

[00:19.79] Missed the first hour just to get a cup of coffee

[00:22.53] She’s the only one who saw who he was, no one else could read him

[00:28.29] Showing up late but he makes it to class

[00:30.79] Just to stare out the window and the clock in the back

[00:34.03] He daydreamed away to a sky so gray

[00:36.81] Everything’s simple, it’s driving him mental

[00:39.78] Wishing every day that something would change

[00:42.28] Instead his dad makes him play ball by the bay

[00:45.04] And every time he cries, father rolls his eyes saying

[00:48.28] “Son it’s all your fault, how come you never try?”

[00:53.27] He does all that he should

[00:54.28] Why is he misunderstood?

[00:56.54] This is a story bout a broken boy

[00:59.03] With his headphones in just to block out the noise

[01:02.28] Of everyone around him telling him the way to go

[01:06.28] So he walks the world alone

[01:08.54] Wondering if it gets better

[01:10.78] Or if he’s always gonna feel empty forever

[01:13.53] So he gets lost tryna find another way back home

[01:17.52] As he walks the world alone

[01:22.04] Fifteen years and he’s drowning his sorrows

[01:24.78] Smoking weed, drinking cheap liquor out the bottle

[01:27.55] With a bunch of fake friends cuz he tried to fit in but it wasn’t working

[01:33.04] Ran in with the law bout a dozen of times

[01:36.04] Nothing too bad, just a few suburban crimes still

[01:38.80] He says to himself, “What are you doing you don’t deserve this

[01:44.54] Don’t you know nobody will ever understand

[01:47.53] The person that you are, learn to hold your own hand

[01:50.03] Get your sh*t together and lose the weight

[01:51.78] You’ll never be what you want, no not with that face”

[01:56.03] He started writing all of his thoughts on paper

[01:58.78] Realized music made life so much greater

[02:01.77] 100 pounds down, he looks so different now

[02:04.29] As he plans his escape from a crooked hometown

[02:08.54] He does all that he should

[02:10.05] Why is he misunderstood?

[02:13.04] This is a story bout a broken boy

[02:15.30] With his headphones in just to block out the noise

[02:18.29] Of everyone around him telling him the way to go

[02:22.27] So he walks the world alone

[02:25.03] Wondering if it gets better

[02:27.05] Or if he’s always gonna feel empty forever

[02:29.53] So he gets lost tryna find another way back home

[02:33.79] As he walks the world alone

[02:36.30] Alone

[02:38.28] Alone

[02:46.78] 21 years and he’s on the right path

[02:49.54] But sometimes he wonders if he grew up too fast

[02:52.54] And missed out on the little things, all of the little things

[02:57.53] (Haha, yeah right)

[02:59.02] Who is he kidding, surely not himself

[03:00.78] But sometimes he wonders if there’s somebody else

[03:03.77] Thats takes the same road, but he’ll never know

[03:07.79] Cuz he walks the world alone

[03:09.54] This is a story bout a broken boy

[03:11.79] With his headphones in just to block out the noise

[03:14.81] Of everyone around him telling him the way to go

[03:18.78] So he walks the world alone

[03:21.28] Wondering if it gets better

[03:23.28] Or if he’s always gonna feel empty forever

[03:26.28] So he gets lost tryna find another way back home

[03:30.04] As he walks the world alone

[03:34.30] Alone (Does it get better, does it get better)

[03:39.03] Alone

[03:41.78] As he walks the world alone

[03:45.28] Alone

[03:48.28] Alone

[03:52.79] Yeah he walks the world alone
