Verse 1:
G Ab
My father used to tell me a tale of a little hero
G Ab
Who I wanted to be to everyone here in the city that was our home
G Ab
Where the flowers on the field wilted in sorrow
G Ab A Ab
'Cause the blue in my eyes started to fade, my hands don't function the same
Refrain:
G Ab A Ab
And my life's a game, I'm tortured in this box of shame
Chorus:
G Ab
And the world turned its back on me
G Ab G
It's been a while since I could see the blue skies
Ab G
And my brother's smile so wide
Ab
Can't I be a kid again?
Interlude: G Ab
Verse 2:
G Ab
His heart grew a little cold and the chapters stay untold
G Ab
But I would imagine he dreamt of the freedom he longed for since the start
G Ab
With a best friend next to me, I'll relive his story
G Ab A Ab
The purple alliums smile back at me, the sunlight's in my eyes
Refrain:
G Ab A Ab
If my life's a game, I'll rewrite the tale with my name
Verse 3:
G Ab
But he only loved me 'cause I was the kid he couldn't be
G Ab
I did what he wished for, he wanted a trophy, a figurehead for his anarchy
G Ab
And the flowers on the field no longer calls for me
G Ab A Ab
'Cause the green on the treetops started to fade, my hugs are missing its warmth
G Ab A Ab
And all hope is lost, can't you hear the cracks in my laughs?
Chorus:
G Ab
And the world turned its back on me
G Ab G
It's been a while since I could see the blue skies
Ab G
And my brother's smile so wide
Ab G
Can't I be a kid again?
Outro: G Ab
