[Intro] [Solitary Piano Chords] [Slow and Somber] (Sigh...) [Verse 1] [Very Soft Fragile Vocals] I thought I had the answers in my hand I thought I built a castle in the sand But the waves came crashing, cold and grey And I watched my world just drift away (Hoo...) [Pre-Chorus] [Gentle Violins Entering] [Vocal Trembling] I never knew a silence was this loud I’m just a face lost in a lonely crowd I reached for her, but she wasn’t there Just the empty scent of her golden hair! [Chorus] [Lush Orchestral Swell] [High Emotional Peak] Now the room is cold, the fire’s dead And I’m haunted by the words I never said She’s gone beyond the reach of my regret A memory I’m not ready to forget (She’s gone...) (Oh, why?) [Verse 2] [Piano and Cello Only] I see her shadow dancing on the wall I’m waiting for the phone that’ll never call I was too proud to show her how I felt Now I’m watching all the frozen moments melt! [Bridge] [Emotional Crescendo] [Crying Ad-libs] I’d give it all, I’d give my very soul Just to feel the parts of me she made whole! (Hoo!) (Please...) (Break my heart again!) [Final Chorus] [Fading Orchestra] [Voice Breaking] Now the room is cold, the fire’s dead And I’m haunted by the words I never said She’s gone beyond the reach of my regret A memory I’m not ready to forget... [Outro] [Piano Only] [Slow Fade] She's gone... (Sobbing sound) It’s over now... (Whispered) I’m sorry. [End]
