Properly Humbled

Synth-pop, indie pop, 2010s pop, bright ukulele, programmed drums, autotune male vocals, upbeat

[Intro] (Lo-fi synth beep melody starts) (Acoustic guitar strumming joins in) Yeah, check, check One, two... Here we go

[Verse 1] Ten thousand pounds a year, sitting on my throne In Derbyshire, I felt better on my own Raised to be principle, raised to be proud Looking down my nose at the assembly crowd I saw you standing there, eyes so fine But I told my friend Bingley, "She's a waste of time" "She's tolerable," I said with a sneer I didn't know you could hear...

[Pre-Chorus] But the silence at Pemberley is getting loud And I’m fighting a feeling inside of this cloud Against my will, against my sense I’m breaking down my own defense

[Chorus] (Explosion of upbeat synths and fast strumming) Oh, Elizabeth! I was the last man in the world You’d ever want to marry, you rejected me girl! You told me the truth, you ripped me apart You pierced the armor right off of my heart I was arrogant, selfish, and stumbling But by you, I was properly humbled Yeah, by you, I was properly humbled!

[Verse 2] (Bass kicks in, slightly groovier) So I wrote you a letter, put the ink to the page Tryin' to fix the mess with Wickham's rage I found them in London, paid off the debt Saved your reputation, no need to fret I didn't do it for credit, didn't do it for show I just needed your family to never know That I’m changing my ways, yeah I’m shifting my view All because I’m so in love with you

[Bridge] (Stripped back, just ukulele and soft synth pad) Now I’m walking back to you Scared of what you’re gonna do My pride is gone, I left it at the door I don't want to be that man anymore (Build up with drum roll) No, not anymore!

[Guitar Solo] (Bright, plucky acoustic guitar solo mixed with 8-bit synth sounds)

[Chorus] Oh, Elizabeth! I was the last man in the world You’d ever want to marry, you rejected me girl! You told me the truth, you ripped me apart You pierced the armor right off of my heart I was arrogant, selfish, and stumbling But by you, I was properly humbled Yeah, by you, I was properly humbled!

[Outro] (Slow down) Dearest, loveliest Elizabeth You showed me who I am (One final strum) I’m just a man.

[End]
