[Verse 1] Eight-bit skies and static rain Saved the world to hide my pain Pixel dreams and sleepless nights Fighting ghosts beneath the lights [Pre-Chorus] No one saw me through the screen But I was more than what I seemed [Chorus] In videogames, I was a hero When real life kept me at zero Built my courage, frame by frame On my own i played the game Every night I learned to fight Until I found my own daylight [Verse 2] Old controllers, fading glow Every quest I had to go Level up through loss and fear Every death just brought me near [Pre-Chorus] They never knew how real it felt When I was saving someone else [Chorus] In videogames, I was a hero When real life kept me at zero Built my courage, frame by frame On my own i played the game Every night I learned to fight Until I found my own daylight [Bridge] All those nights, no one beside Still I had a world inside Every story made me strong Every silence wrote a song [Drop / Final Chorus] In videogames, I was a hero When real life kept me at zero Built my courage, frame by frame On my own i played the game Every night I learned to fight Until I found my own daylight In videogames, I was a hero When real life kept me at zero Built my courage, frame by frame On my own i played the game Every scar became my flame Now the real world knows my name [Outro] Now I smile at every save All those worlds I couldn’t stay Every loss became a key Unlocking who I came to be
