[00:06.73] Eight years old and he’s kicking and screaming
[00:08.08] “I’ll only go to school if you give me a reason
[00:10.58] The kids are really mean and I already know all the things they’re teaching”
[00:15.83] Hopped in the car mama let him play hookey
[00:18.57] Missed the first hour just to get a cup of coffee
[00:21.08] She’s the only one who saw who he was, no one else could read him
[00:26.33] Showing up late but he makes it to class
[00:28.58] Just to stare out the window and the clock in the back
[00:31.59] He daydreamed away to a sky so gray
[00:34.07] Everything’s simple, it’s driving him mental
[00:36.83] Wishing every day that something would change
[00:39.35] Instead his dad makes him play ball by the bay
[00:41.82] And every time he cries, father rolls his eyes saying
[00:44.45] “Son it’s all your fault, how come you never try?”
[00:48.19] He does all that he should
[00:49.95] Why is he misunderstood?
[00:52.53] This is a story bout a broken boy
[00:55.04] With his headphones in just to block out the noise
[00:57.56] Of everyone around him telling him the way to go
[01:01.32] So he walks the world alone
[01:03.54] Wondering if it gets better
[01:05.55] Or if he’s always gonna feel empty forever
[01:08.31] So he gets lost tryna find another way back home
[01:11.81] As he walks the world alone
[01:16.05] Fifteen years and he’s drowning his sorrows
[01:18.79] Smoking weed, drinking cheap liquor out the bottle
[01:21.06] With a bunch of fake friends cuz he tried to fit in but it wasn’t working
[01:26.56] Ran in with the law bout a dozen of times
[01:29.04] Nothing too bad, just a few suburban crimes still
[01:31.54] He says to himself, “What are you doing you don’t deserve this
[01:36.81] Don’t you know nobody will ever understand
[01:39.57] The person that you are, learn to hold your own hand
[01:42.05] Get your sh*t together and lose the weight
[01:44.29] You’ll never be what you want, no not with that face”
[01:47.32] He started writing all of his thoughts on paper
[01:49.79] Realized music made life so much greater
[01:52.55] 100 pounds down, he looks so different now
[01:54.67] As he plans his escape from a crooked hometown
[01:58.64] He does all that he should
[02:00.41] Why is he misunderstood?
[02:02.91] This is a story bout a broken boy
[02:05.16] With his headphones in just to block out the noise
[02:08.16] Of everyone around him telling him the way to go
[02:11.92] So he walks the world alone
[02:13.93] Wondering if it gets better
[02:15.91] Or if he’s always gonna feel empty forever
[02:18.68] So he gets lost tryna find another way back home
[02:22.16] As he walks the world alone
[02:26.42] Alone
[02:28.92] Alone
[02:34.42] 21 years and he’s on the right path
[02:36.91] But sometimes he wonders if he grew up too fast
[02:39.42] And missed out on the little things, all of the little things
[02:43.40] (Haha, yeah right)
[02:44.66] Who is he kidding, surely not himself
[02:47.41] But sometimes he wonders if there’s somebody else
[02:50.15] Thats takes the same road, but he’ll never know
[02:53.66] Cuz he walks the world alone
[02:55.41] This is a story bout a broken boy
[02:57.64] With his headphones in just to block out the noise
[03:00.42] Of everyone around him telling him the way to go
[03:04.15] So he walks the world alone
[03:06.44] Wondering if it gets better
[03:08.42] Or if he’s always gonna feel empty forever
[03:10.91] So he gets lost tryna find another way back home
[03:14.42] As he walks the world alone
[03:18.16] Alone (Does it get better, does it get better)
[03:22.42] Alone
[03:24.91] As he walks the world alone
[03:28.64] Alone
[03:31.15] Alone
[03:35.39] Yeah he walks the world alone
