Intro
G#m
Yeah...
E
Eleven years.
Same seats, same blood, same dreams.
F#
And now were standing in the exact same park,
Looking at two completely different realities.
G#m
Listen...
[Verso 1]
G#m
We grew up side by side, yeah, we shared the same ground,
E
Eleven straight years with the exact same sound.
Cousins, best friends, every secret we kept,
F#
Every battle we fought, every tear that we wept.
G#m
We were reflection of each other, built from the same clay,
E
Riding through life, thinking wed never stray.
Then the road took a split, and you took a sharp turn,
F#
While I stayed behind, watching everything burn.
G#m
I went deep inside, worked on my heart and my soul,
E
Tried to build up my character, tried to be whole.
I chose the hard work, the quiet, the clean,
F#
While you built a fortress out of a screen.
G#m
You traded your worth for a moment of noise,
E
Looking for validation in the eyes of these boys.
It breaks me in half, yeah, it cuts to the bone,
F#
To see you surrounded, but so damn alone.
[Refrão]
G#m
And it hurts, yeah it tears me apart from inside,
E
Seeing the diamond youre trying to hide.
You cover your beauty with cheap validation,
F#
While Im drowning in silence and pure frustration.
G#m
At the skatepark every day, trying to catch my breath,
E
While this distance between us feels closer to death.
I remember who you were, I know the real you,
F#
So why do you act like none of its true?
[Verso 2]
G#m
You pull up to the park, and my chest gets so tight,
E
This spot was my refuge, my space in the light.
On my skates, on the ramps, I was learning to fly,
F#
Now Im fighting the tears that are hitting my eye.
G#m
You walk in provocative, hungry for eyes,
E
Dressed up in armor of plastic and lies.
And the worst part of all? Im human, I confess,
F#
Theres a small piece of me that feels envy and stress.
G#m
Like, why do you get all this attention so cheap,
E
While Im doing the work and the promises I keep?
I worked on my character, built my own frame,
F#
While you play the shortcut, and everyone knows your name.
G#m
And then I feel guilty for thinking that way,
E
Because I love you so much, more than words can even say.
Youre not stupid, you know that it bothers my heart,
F#
Yet you keep on performing, keeping us apart.
[Refrão]
G#m
And it hurts, yeah it tears me apart from inside,
E
Seeing the diamond youre trying to hide.
You cover your beauty with cheap validation,
F#
While Im drowning in silence and pure frustration.
G#m
At the skatepark every day, trying to catch my breath,
E
While this distance between us feels closer to death.
I remember who you were, I know the real you,
F#
So why do you act like none of its true?
[Ponte]
E
Im not gonna leave this park. This is my air.
Im not gonna run away, even if it isnt fair.
F#
I wont pretend that Im cool with the path that you chose,
G#m
I wont fake a smile while the real connection closes.
E
I know the good in you. I know the little girl.
Before you started changing just to fit into their world.
F#
You dont need their stares, you dont need their applause,
G#m
You were already whole without any of their laws...
E
God, I miss my friend. I miss what we had.
Im sitting on my skates, and Im just so damn sad.
[Verso 3]
G#m
I won't preach to you, I won't play the judge,
E
Even though in my heart Im carrying a grudge.
Im gonna strap on my skates, put my headphones in deep,
F#
And mourn for the friendship we couldnt even keep.
G#m
Ill ride on these ramps, Ill feel every fall,
E
Because pain is the only thing making sense through it all.
Ill hold my head high, keep my values in check,
F#
While I watch you rebuild a beautiful wreck.
G#m
Im grieving for us, and Im grieving for you,
E
Cause nobody sees the girl that I knew.
Outro
G#m
Ill be right here on the wheels.
E
Doing my tricks, feeling every emotion that heals.
I wont abandon my space, I wont give up my ground,
F#
Even if your noise is the only thing around.
G#m
I love you, my cousin. I love you, my friend.
E
Im holding the light...
F#
Until the very end.
