Verse 1 — C Red lights hum where the laughter died I was just a kid with nowhere to hide I waited by the curtain, counted time Swore your eye met mine Verse 1 — F I learned your face through the noise and cheer Logged your steps, every time you were here I don’t sing, I don’t speak out loud But I knew you in the crowd Pre-Chorus — C & F (overlapping) C: They said you’re only steel and sound F: They said she’d leave, not come around C: The night burned bright, the road broke through F: Systems failed when I lost you ⸻ Chorus — C & F C: If you run, I’ll follow F: If I run, it’s for you C: I’m burned into your memory F: You’re wired into me too Both: They shut the doors, killed the lights But we stayed when the world withdrew Pirate Cove remembers us I remember you ⸻ Verse 2 — C {female} Twenty years in the static cold Scars like stories never told I only exist when you wake Through every system break Verse 2 — F {male} Power spikes, the curtains tear I feel you standing—always there I freeze when they come too close I don’t hunt, I just ghost ⸻ Pre-Chorus — F → C F: Blue eye watching, red eye fast C: You’re running circles through the past F: Every step I take shakes the night C: I hold you here—I anchor tight ⸻ Chorus — C & F C: If you run, I’ll follow F: If I break, I’ll stay C: I haunt you through the cameras F: You keep the dark away Both: They reset the rooms, erase the nights But they can’t undo what’s true Pirate Cove remembers us I remember you ⸻ Bridge — Distorted Duet (whispered, overlapping) C: Wait for me F: I’m waiting C: Don’t reset F: I won’t forget C: I died once F: I stayed on Both: Hold the door until I’m gone (heartbeat + mechanical whirr in sync) ⸻ Final Chorus — C & F C: When the power dies tonight F: And the screen goes black again C: Don’t be scared—it’s only me F: I’ll be running then Both: I don’t chase to hurt them I don’t run to end Pirate Cove remembers love That never learned to end ⸻ Outro — F (soft) → C (echo) F: Curtain closed… C: I’m still here… F: Systems wait… C: So don’t fear… Both: Pirate Cove never forgets
