Nico Collins - Alone 🎤

[Verse 1]
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 mama let him play hookey
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
He daydreamed away to a sky so gray
Everything’s simple, it’s driving him mental
Wishing every day that something would change
Instead his dad makes him play ball by the bay
And every time he cries, father rolls his eyes saying
“Son it’s all your fault, how come you never try?”

[Pre-Chorus]
He does all that he should
Why is he misunderstood?

[Chorus]
This is a story bout a broken boy
With his headphones in just to block out the noise
Of 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
As he walks the world alone

[Verse 2]
Fifteen years and he’s drowning his sorrows
Smoking weed, drinking cheap liquor out the bottle
With a bunch of fake friends 'cause 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 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
Get your shit together and lose 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 a crooked hometown

[Pre-Chorus]
He does all that he should
Why is he misunderstood?

[Chorus]
This is a story bout a broken boy
With his headphones in just to block out the noise
Of 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
As he walks the world alo-oh-oh-oh-oh-one
Alo-oh-oh-oh-oh-one
Alo-oh-oh-oh-oh-one

[Bridge]
21 years and he’s on the right path
But sometimes he wonders if he grew up too fast
And missed out on the little things, all of the little things
(Haha, yeah right)
Who is he kidding, surely not himself
But sometimes he wonders if there’s somebody else
Who takes the same road, but he’ll never know
'Cause he walks the world alone

[Chorus]
This is a story bout a broken boy
With his headphones in just to block out the noise
Of 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
As he walks the world alo-oh-oh-oh-oh-one
Alo-oh-oh-oh-oh-one (Does it get better, does it get better)
Alo-oh-oh-oh-oh-one
As he walks the world alone
Alo-oh-oh-oh-oh-one
Alo-oh-oh-oh-oh-one
Yeah he walks the world alone

.... "wondering if it gets better, or if he's going to feel empty forever"... I just.... Man.. That hit feels real quick

I was bullied for about 5 years by my whole class. I tried to tell my grandma when she informed the principal, he didn’t do anything. No one believed me, no matter what happened it was my fault. I gave up on trying to get help. Few years later I started cutting. My mom could care less, it’s hard sometimes. I’ve learned to deal with it. The hardest thing is being as empathetic as I am, to a point it hurts me. I want everyone to be happy no matter how I feel or what it does to me. Thank you for reading

[yukthahareesh]

Nico Colins always puts so much emotion and feel in his songs

[yvonnems]

I really like this guy, all of his lyrics/songs had a really deep meaning though.

[fortnitetime]

Parents: you just lay around all day!
"friends": your so selfish
School: your a failure
Bf/gf: you'll be fine
Music: don't worry I'm here for you

[gabriellebutterfly]

Why do I relate to this do much. It's like this was written about me

[Tommy-zjyl]

This is the first song to actually make me cry. Literally this song that I have found In the last 5 minutes has been so accurately relatable to me it's scary. Every word I felt aside from the weight loss bit. It's good to know that there are others out there that have walked the same road, it will make us stronger in the long run I'm sure of it

[max-mflc]

He literally emptied my entire life struggling history🎧thank you new melody

[Yknow_who_it_is]

“Sometimes he wonders if he grew up too fast, and missed out on the little things” This line, right here is just so perfect. I sometimes too wonder if i grew up too fast, sometimes i have trouble understanding the simplest things that even 5 year olds could understand and it makes me feel like an outcast. I just wished i could sometimes go back to the day where i was still young and naive. I felt this and so i can relate ❤😢

"Headphones in just to block out the noise"
"With a bunch of fake friends, cause he tried to fit it but it wasn't working"

Anyone who's like me?

[gabriellebutterfly]

Headphones in to block out the noise- me everyday

[ileniaab]

I love how he tells a story using a song.

[lizzybethclearwater]

"It's all your fault; how come you never try?" "He does all that he should, why is he misunderstood?"
felt that

[ariannajones]

We all relate to this, the feeling of being constantly misunderstood, being a disappointment, and not being free to choose our own way. Lets break this cycle, it's time to get rid of that feeling.

“Fifteen years and he's drowning his sorrows, smoking weed, drinking cheap liquor out the bottle with a bunch of fake friends cause he tried to fit in but it wasn't working” hits to hard

[dino_nuggies]

I started crying. Why does this relate to me so much even tho im a girl.

[patches]

Pure talent.
And I’ve never felt more connected to a song in my life-

[eeeooowoo]

I heard this on Spotify and I don’t regret it
👌✨

[Anachronouss]

Siblings: *turn your music down, that song sucks anyway*
Parents: *take out your headphones and be apart of this family*
Friends: *never know what's happening in my head*
Books: *temporarily takes away the pain*
Music: *teaches me things I didn't know about myself and the world*

“Every time he cries, father rolls his eyes saying “son it’s all your fault, how come you never try?”

That is my father to me every day
