Alone - Nico Collins.mp3

[00:00.63]Eight years old and he’s kicking and screaming
[00:05.54]“I’ll only go to school if you give me a reason
[00:08.51]The kids are really mean and I already know all the things they’re teaching”
[00:14.16]Hopped in the car mama let him play hookey
[00:17.06]Missed the first hour just to get a cup of coffee
[00:19.70]She’s the only one who saw who he was, no one else could read him
[00:25.53]Showing up late but he makes it to class
[00:28.13]Just to stare out the window and the clock in the back
[00:31.11]He daydreamed away to a sky so gray
[00:33.99]Everything’s simple, it’s driving him mental
[00:36.87]Wishing every day that something would change
[00:39.60]Instead his dad makes him play ball by the bay
[00:42.39]And every time he cries, father rolls his eyes saying
[00:44.94]“Son it’s all your fault, how come you never try?”
[00:49.37]He does all that he should
[00:50.84]Why is he misunderstood?
[00:53.43]This is a story bout a broken boy
[00:55.94]With his headphones in just to block out the noise
[00:59.37]Of everyone around him telling him the way to go
[01:03.24]So he walks the world alone
[01:05.76]Wondering if it gets better
[01:07.80]Or if he’s always gonna feel empty forever
[01:10.69]So he gets lost tryna find another way back home
[01:14.84]As he walks the world alone
[01:19.12]Fifteen years and he’s drowning his sorrows
[01:21.86]Smoking weed, drinking cheap liquor out the bottle
[01:24.52]With a bunch of fake friends cuz he tried to fit in but it wasn’t working
[01:30.44]Ran in with the law bout a dozen of times
[01:33.25]Nothing too bad, just a few suburban crimes still
[01:35.86]He says to himself, “What are you doing you don’t deserve this
[01:41.78]Don’t you know nobody will ever understand
[01:44.51]The person that you are, learn to hold your own hand
[01:47.40]Get your shit together and lose the weight
[01:49.87]You’ll never be what you want, no not with that face”
[01:53.03]He started writing all of his thoughts on paper
[01:55.85]Realized music made life so much greater
[01:58.59]100 pounds down, he looks so different now
[02:01.41]As he plans his escape from a crooked hometown
[02:05.38]He does all that he should
[02:07.09]Why is he misunderstood?
[02:09.97]This is a story bout a broken boy
[02:12.36]With his headphones in just to block out the noise
[02:15.58]Of everyone around him telling him the way to go
[02:19.78]So he walks the world alone
[02:22.02]Wondering if it gets better
[02:24.04]Or if he’s always gonna feel empty forever
[02:26.96]So he gets lost tryna find another way back home
[02:30.81]As he walks the world alone
[02:35.40]Alone
[02:38.10]Alone
[02:43.85]21 years and he’s on the right path
[02:46.60]But sometimes he wonders if he grew up too fast
[02:49.62]And missed out on the little things, all of the little things
[02:53.82](Haha, yeah right)
[02:55.08]Who is he kidding, surely not himself
[02:57.88]But sometimes he wonders if there’s somebody else
[03:00.83]Thats takes the same road, but he’ll never know
[03:04.88]Cuz he walks the world alone
[03:06.70]This is a story bout a broken boy
[03:08.44]With his headphones in just to block out the noise
[03:12.01]Of everyone around him telling him the way to go
[03:15.97]So he walks the world alone
[03:18.52]Wondering if it gets better
[03:20.46]Or if he’s always gonna feel empty forever
[03:23.42]So he gets lost tryna find another way back home
[03:27.30]As he walks the world alone
[03:31.85]Alone (Does it get better, does it get better)
[03:34.58]Alone
[03:38.80]As he walks the world alone
[03:43.00]Alone
[03:45.84]Alone
[03:45.56]
[03:49.91]Yeah he walks the world alone
[03:52.03]
