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 hookey 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 gray Everything’s simple, it’s driving him mental Wishing every day 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 in with the law bout a dozen of times Nothing too bad, just a few suburban crimes still He says to himself, “What are you doing you don’t deserve 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’ll 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 100 pounds down, 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 alone Alone Alone
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 (Haha, yeah right)
Who is he kidding, surely not himself But sometimes he wonders if there’s somebody else Thats takes the same road, but he’ll never know Cuz he walks the world alone
