[Intro – 8 bars, deep bass, heavy drums, raw guitar, dark and slow] [Verse 1 – male vocal, very low, arrogant, indifferent] I never needed anyone to hold. My bed was cold, but I was never sold. She walked in, I didn't even care. Just another face in smoky air. [Pre-chorus – voice slightly rises, bass deepens, still cold] Then something cracked inside my chest. I never wanted this. I never guessed. [Chorus – flat, cold, confused, almost angry] What the hell is this? What's happening to me? The sun is brighter, the sky is bluer, but I can't breathe. My heart feels soft, my hands are clean. I think I'm falling. I've never been. [Instrumental – 8 bars, raw guitar solo, slow and crying] [Verse 2 – same low delivery, more aggressive] I used to walk away without a glance. Now I'm waiting for a second chance. She smiles, and I forget my name. This ain't a game. This ain't a game. [Pre-chorus – repeat, voice cracking slightly] Something cracked inside my chest. I never wanted this. I never guessed. [Chorus – repeat, with more confusion, voice losing arrogance] What the hell is this? What's happening to me? The sun is brighter, the sky is bluer, but I can't breathe. My heart feels soft, my hands are clean. I think I'm falling. I've never been. [Bridge – bass only, spoken-sung, intimate, lost] I used to laugh at fools like this. Now I'm one of them. What the hell is this? The light is different. The air is sweet. I think I'm melting. I can't feel my feet. [Final chorus – full, voice breaks, no arrogance left] WHAT THE HELL IS THIS? WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME? THE SUN IS BRIGHTER, THE SKY IS BLUER, BUT I CAN'T BREATHE. MY HEART FEELS SOFT, MY HANDS ARE CLEAN. I THINK I'M FALLING. I'VE NEVER BEEN. [Outro – beat fades, single guitar chord, whisper] Maybe this is love… What the hell.
