[Intro - fragile, ambient piano chords, distant rain falling, hollow tape hiss] (Soft, shaky exhale) Look at you... Where the fuck are you now? [Verse 1 - fragile, single vocal track, completely dry and upfront] You used to drip like honey, baby A golden light across my floor Had me shaking, had me praying For a ghost who walks no more Now it's quiet, suffocating Just a brittle, empty space Funny how the sweetest memories Are the hardest ones to face [Pre-Chorus - distant, echoing strings swell slowly, full of longing] Don't you dare look so surprised I watched you leave with open eyes [Chorus - soaring, bittersweet indie-folk explosion, heavy acoustic strums, swelling cello] Ooh, you were heaven when you were mine Now you're just a shadow lost to time I still need you, I still need you Bittersweet upon my thoughts tonight Ooh, you were sinful, you were divine Now the silence makes me cry I still need you, but I lost you Sweet rot, sweet rot, goodbye [Post-Chorus - ambient piano loop, vocal echoes fading into reverb] Sweet rot... (where did you go?) Sweet rot... (into the snow) [Verse 2 - lower register, heavy compression, sounding far away] I remember how you opened Every corner of your heart Made me dizzy, made me filthy Before we tore it all apart Now I'm crumbling in the silence Can't even catch a breath I could almost kiss the ether Just to feel what we had left [Pre-Chorus - strings straining, building to a heartbreaking peak] Don't you dare look so surprised I watched you leave with open eyes [Chorus - full, sweeping orchestral drop, massive percussion, crying slide guitar] Ooh, you were heaven when you were mine Now you're just a shadow lost to time I still taste you, I still taste you Bittersweet upon my tongue tonight Ooh, you were sinful, you were divine Now the silence makes me cry I still need you, but I lost you Sweet rot, sweet rot, goodbye [Bridge - all music cuts out, only the sound of heavy rain and a ticking clock] Did I kill it? Did I love you Way too hard, way too long? (Faint, tragic whisper) No, baby... we just faded Like the beautiful ones do [Final Chorus - double-time rhythm, desperate vocal delivery, layered harmonies screaming into the void] Ooh, you were heaven when you were mine Now you're just a shadow lost to time I still taste you, I still taste you Bittersweet upon my tongue tonight Ooh, you were sinful, you were divine Now the silence makes me cry I still want you, but I lost you Sweet rot, sweet rot, goodbye [Outro - piano chords slowly break apart, rain sound fades] Still so sweet... Even gone, you're still so sweet. (Rain stops)
