~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Eight years old I was 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, Kalin let me play hooky
Missed the first hour just to get a cup of coffee

He's the only one who saw who I was

No one else could read me

Showing up late but I make it to class
Just to stare out the window and the clock in the back
I daydreamed away to a sky so gray
Everything's simple, it's driving me mental
Wishing everyday that something would change
Instead my "friends" made me play ball by the bay
And every time I cried, they would roll their eyes, saying
"Hey! It's all your fault, how come you never try?"

I do all that I should

Why am I misunderstood?

This is a story 'bout a broken boy

With my headphones in just to block out the noise
Of everyone around me telling me the way to go
So I walk the world alone
Wondering if it gets better
Or if I'm always gonna feel empty forever
So I get lost tryna find another way back home
As I walk the world alone

14 years and I'm drowning my sorrows
Smoking weed, drinking cheap liquor out the bottle
With a bunch of fake friends 'cause I 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 I said to myself,

"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!"

I started writing all of my thoughts on paper,
Realized music made life so much greater
100 pounds down, I look so different now
As I plan my escape from a crooked hometown

I do all that I should,

Why am I misunderstood?

This is a story 'bout a broken boy

With my headphones in just to block out the noise
Of everyone around me telling me the way to go
So I walk the world alone
Wondering if it gets better
Or if I'm always gonna feel empty forever
So I get lost tryna find another way back home
As I walk the world alone, alone, alone

16 years and I'm on the right path, but sometimes I wonder if I grew up too fast
And missed out on the little things
All of the little things
Who am I kidding? Surely not myself
But sometimes I wonder if there's somebody else
Who takes the same road but I'll never know
'Cause I walk the world alone


This is a story 'bout a broken boy,

With my headphones in just to block out the noise
Of everyone around me telling me the way to go
So I walk the world alone
Wondering if it gets better
Or if I'm always gonna feel empty forever
So I get lost tryna find another way back home
As I walk the world alone, alone, alone

As I walk the world alone, alone, alone

Yeah, I walk the world alone
