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, momma 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

Daydreamed away to a sky so gray

Everything's simple, it's driving him mental

Wishing every say that something would change

Instead, his dad makes him play ball by the bay

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

Everyone around him, telling him the place to go

While 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 sorrow

Smoking weed, drinking cheep 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's 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

Got your shit together and loose 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 his 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

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

So he walks the world alone

Alone

Alone
