Eight years old and he's kicking and screaming

I'll only go to school if you give me a reason

The kids are really mean 

And I already know all the things they're teaching

Hopped in the car

Mama let him play hooky

Missed the first hour just to get a cup of coffee

She's the only one who saw who he was

No one else could read him

Showing up late but he makes it to class

Just to stare out the window 

And the clock in the back

He daydreamed away to a sky so grey

Everything simple is driving him mental

Wishing everyday that something would change

Instead his dad makes him play ball by the bay

And every time he cries

Father rolls his eyes, saying

"Son it's all your fault, how come you never try?"

He does all that he should 

Why is he misunderstood?

This is a story bout a broken boy

With his headphones in just to block out the noise

Of everyone around him telling him the way to go

So he walks the world alone

Wondering if it gets better

Or if he's always gonna feel empty forever

So he gets lost tryna find another way back home

As he walks the world alone

Fifteen years and he's drowning his sorrows

Smoking weed, drinking cheap liquor out the bottle

With a bunch of fake friends

Cuz he tried to fit in but it wasn't working

Ran away with the law bout a dozen of times

Nothing too bad just a few suburban crimes

Till he says to himself

"What are you doing, you don't deserve this this"

Don't you know nobody will ever understand

The person that you are 

Learn to hold your own hand

Get your shit together and lose the weight

You never be what you want

No, not with that face

He started writing all of his thoughts on paper

Realized music made life so much greater

A 100 pounds now he looks so different now

As he plans his escape from a crooked hometown

He does all that he should

Why is he misunderstood?

This is a story bout a broken boy

With his headphones in just to block out the noise

Of everyone around him telling him the way to go

So he walks the world alone

Wondering if it gets better

Or if he's always gonna feel empty forever

So he gets lost tryna find another way back home

As he walks the world alo-o-o-o-o-o-one

Alo-o-o-o-o-o-one (x2)

21 years and he's on the right path

But sometimes he wonders if he grew up too fast

And missed out on the little things

All of the little things

Who is he kidding

Surely not himself

But sometimes he wonders if there's somebody else

Who takes the same road, but he'll never know

Cause he walks the world alone

This is a story bout a broken boy

With his headphones in just to block out the noise

Of everyone around him telling him the way to go

So he walks the world alone

Wondering if it gets better

Or if he's always gonna feel empty forever

So he gets lost tryna find another way back home

As he walks the world alo-o-o-o-o-o-one

Alo-o-o-o-o-o-one (x2)

As he walks the world alo-o-o-o-o-o-one

Alo-o-o-o-o-o-one (x2)

Yeah he walks the world alone

THE END
