Alone
[00:05.34] Eight years old and he’s kicking and screaming
[00:08.12] “I’ll only go to school if you give me a reason
[00:10.63] The kids are really mean and I already know all the things they’re teaching”
[00:15.89] Hopped in the car mama let him play hookey
[00:18.40] Missed the first hour just to get a cup of coffee
[00:20.94] She’s the only one who saw who he was, no one else could read him
[00:26.20] Showing up late but he makes it to class
[00:28.72] Just to stare out the window and the clock in the back
[00:31.47] He daydreamed away to a sky so gray
[00:34.23] Everything’s simple, it’s driving him mental
[00:36.74] Wishing every day that something would change
[00:39.25] Instead his dad makes him play ball by the bay
[00:41.75] And every time he cries, father rolls his eyes saying
[00:44.49] “Son it’s all your fault, how come you never try?”
[00:48.26] He does all that he should
[00:49.75] Why is he misunderstood?
[00:52.50] This is a story bout a broken boy
[00:54.75] With his headphones in just to block out the noise
[00:57.76] Of everyone around him telling him the way to go
[01:01.27] So he walks the world alone
[01:03.53] Wondering if it gets better
[01:05.53] Or if he’s always gonna feel empty forever
[01:08.03] So he gets lost tryna find another way back home
[01:11.80] As he walks the world alone
[01:16.06] Fifteen years and he’s drowning his sorrows
[01:18.58] Smoking weed, drinking cheap liquor out the bottle
[01:20.83] With a bunch of fake friends cuz he tried to fit in but it wasn’t working
[01:26.35] Ran in with the law bout a dozen of times
[01:29.12] Nothing too bad, just a few suburban crimes still
[01:31.62] He says to himself, “What are you doing you don’t deserve this
[01:36.88] Don’t you know nobody will ever understand
[01:39.38] The person that you are, learn to hold your own hand
[01:42.15] Get your shit together and lose the weight
[01:44.14] You’ll never be what you want, no not with that face”
[01:47.15] He started writing all of his thoughts on paper
[01:49.91] Realized music made life so much greater
[01:52.41] 100 pounds down, he looks so different now
[01:54.91] As he plans his escape from a crooked hometown
[01:58.67] He does all that he should
[02:00.43] Why is he misunderstood?
[02:02.93] This is a story bout a broken boy
[02:05.43] With his headphones in just to block out the noise
[02:08.19] Of everyone around him telling him the way to go
[02:11.95] So he walks the world alone
[02:14.20] Wondering if it gets better
[02:16.22] Or if he’s always gonna feel empty forever
[02:18.72] So he gets lost tryna find another way back home
[02:22.23] As he walks the world alone
[02:26.24] Alone
[02:29.03] Alone
[02:34.29] 21 years and he’s on the right path
[02:36.80] But sometimes he wonders if he grew up too fast
[02:39.57] And missed out on the little things, all of the little things
[02:43.59] (Haha, yeah right)
[02:44.84] Who is he kidding, surely not himself
[02:47.34] But sometimes he wonders if there’s somebody else
[02:50.11] Thats takes the same road, but he’ll never know
[02:53.60] Cuz he walks the world alone
[02:55.35] This is a story bout a broken boy
[02:57.62] With his headphones in just to block out the noise
[03:00.37] Of everyone around him telling him the way to go
[03:04.13] So he walks the world alone
[03:06.38] Wondering if it gets better
[03:08.14] Or if he’s always gonna feel empty forever
[03:10.89] So he gets lost tryna find another way back home
[03:14.40] As he walks the world alone
[03:18.66] Alone (Does it get better, does it get better)
[03:21.17] Alone
[03:24.92] As he walks the world alone
[03:28.94] Alone
[03:31.72] Alone
[03:35.22] Yeah he walks the world alone
