Lyrical Analysis of...
alone remix
- Eight years old and she'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 her play hookey
- Missed the first hour just to get a cup of coffee
- She's the only one who saw who she was
- No one else could read her
- Showing up late but she makes it to class
- Just to stare out the window and the clock in the back
- She daydreamed away to a sky so gray
- Everything's simple, it's driving her mental
- Wishing everyday that something would change
- Instead her dad makes her play ball by the bay
- And every time she cries, father rolls his eyes, saying
- "daughter it's all your fault, how come you never try?"
- She does all that she should
- Why is she misunderstood?
- This is a story 'bout a broken girl
- With her headphones in just to block out the noise
- Of everyone around her telling her the way to go
- So she walks the world alone
- Wondering if it gets better
- Or if she's always gonna feel empty forever
- So she gets lost tryna find another way back home
- As she walks the world alone
- Fifteen years and she's drowning her sorrows
- Smoking weed, drinking cheap liquor out the bottle
- With a bunch of fake friends 'cause she 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 she says to herself
- "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"
- She started writing all of his thoughts on paper,
- Realized music made life so much greater
- 100 pounds down, she looks so different now
- As she plans her escape from a crooked hometown
- She does all that she should
- Why is she misunderstood?
- This is a story 'about a broken girl
- With her headphones in just to block out the noise
- Of everyone around her telling her the way to go
- So she walks the world alone
- Wondering if it gets better
- Or if she's always gonna feel empty forever
- So she gets lost tryna find another way back home
- As she walks the world alone, alone, alone
- 21 years and she's on the right path
- But sometimes she wonders if she grew up too fast
- And missed out on the little things
- All of the little things (haha, yeah right)
- Who is she kidding? Surely not herself
- But sometimes she wonders if there's somebody else
- Who takes the same road but she'll never know
- 'Cause she walks the world alone
- This is a story 'about a broken girl
- With her headphones in just to block out the noise
- Of everyone around her telling her the way to go
- So she walks the world alone
- Wondering if it gets better
- Or if she's always gonna feel empty forever
- So she gets lost tryna find another way back home
- As she walks the world alone, alone, alone
- As she walks the world alone, alone, alone
- Yeah, she walks the world alone
