Sooo yea this is all about me 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 him 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 he should
Why is he 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
14 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 it together and lose the weight
You'll never be what you want, no, not with that face"
she started writing all of her 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
He 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, alone, alone
14 years and she's on the right path
But sometimes she wonders if he grew up too fast
And missed out on the little things
All of the little things
Who is he 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 'bout a broken girl
With his 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

Everybody knows my name now
But somethin' 'bout it still feels strange
Like lookin' in a mirror, tryna steady myself
And seein' somebody else
And everything is not the same now
It feels like all our lives have changed
Maybe when I'm older, it'll all calm down
But it's killin' me now
What if you had it all
But nobody to call?
Maybe then you'd know me
'Cause I've had everything
But no one's listening
And that's just f- lonely
I'm so lonely
Lonely
Everybody knows my past now
Like my house was always made of glass
And maybe that's the price you pay
For the money and fame at an early age
And everybody saw me sick
And it felt like no one gave a sh-
They criticized the things I did as an idiot kid
What if you had it all
But nobody to call?
Maybe then you'd know me
'Cause I've had everything
But no one's listening
And that's just f- lonely
I'm so lonely
Lonely
I'm so lonely
Lonely
