[Verse 1]
My father used to tell me a tale of a little hero
Who I wanted to be to everyone here in the city that was our home
Where the flowers on the field wilted in sorrow
'Cause the blue in my eyes started to fade, my hands don't function the same

[Refrain]
And my life's a game, I'm tortured in this box of shame

[Chorus]
And the world turned its back on me
It's been a while since I could see the bluе skies
And my brother's smile
So why can't I bе a kid again?
(Why can't I be a kid?)
(Why can't I be a kid?)

[Verse 2]
His heart grew a little cold and the chapters stay untold
But I would imagine he dreamt of the freedom he longed for since the start
With a best friend next to me, I'll relive his story
The purple alliums smile back at me, the sunlight's in my eyes

[Refrain]
If my life's a game, I'll rewrite the tale with my name
[Verse 3]
But he only loved me 'cause I was the kid he couldn't be
I did what he wished for, he wanted a trophy, a figurehead for his anarchy
And the flowers on the field no longer calls for me
'Cause the green on the treetops started to fade, my hugs are missing its warmth
And all hope is lost, can't you hear the cracks in my laugh?

[Chorus]
And the world turned its back on me
It's been a while since I could see the blue skies
And my brother's smile
So, why can't I be a kid again?
(Why can't I be a kid?)
(Why can't I be a kid?)
