Used to Cheer, Now You Sneer

You were there in the dirt, we were dreamin’

Laughin’ loud, broke as hell but believin’

Told each other we would rise, side by side

But I saw the envy in your eyes the night I hit the sky

Now you talk like I sold my soul

Like success is a sin you control

Truth hurts, don’t it?

Yeah, I see what you became

You used to cheer, now you sneer

Act like I disappeared

But I’m still here, crystal clear

And I won’t drown in your fear

You turned your back, called me fake

But I bled for every step I take

Guess I climbed too high

For you to stand the light

You post shots in disguise, passive fire

Twist the truth, set the trap with a smile

But you can’t cage the sun, can’t own the flame

You hate what you couldn’t claim

Now you haunt where we used to stand

Bitter crown in a jealous land

You threw the first match

Don’t cry about the blaze

You used to cheer, now you sneer

Act like I disappeared

But I’m still here, crystal clear

And I won’t drown in your fear

You turned your back, called me fake

But I bled for every step I take

Guess I climbed too high

For you to stand the light

Was it ever real, or just convenience?

Were you riding waves or holding secrets?

Now you’re screaming from below

While I’m burning with control

You used to cheer, now you sneer

But I won’t shed one tear

I faced my doubt, fought my war

While you watched from the floor

You turned your back, called me fake

But I’m the storm you couldn’t break

Guess I shined too bright

For you to stand the light

We were brothers in the fight

’Til you fell to the night
