[Overall style: britpop, The Verve “The Drugs Don’t Work” inspired, 1990s acoustic melancholy, soft male vocal, intimate, emotional, reflective, depressive, warm acoustic guitar, subtle strings, atmospheric reverb, lonely, wistful] [Verse 1: hushed vocal, close-mic, gentle acoustic fingerpicking, fragile delivery] And all through the night... you held me tight In your arms, I found my light This day so sweet will never come again... As the world fades through a mist of pain A madness in her and a madness in me... Together, we formed a kind of sanity [Pre-Chorus: slight lift, breathier tone, emotional tremble] O, the things we love... we lose in time But I’ll love her till the stars don’t shine ohhhhh... [Chorus: fuller vocal, soft string swell, wistful ache] I call out (call out...) oh but I’m all alone Oh, my beautiful world... where did you go? There she goes (she goes...) my beautiful girl Nothing really matters anymore... Ohh... not anymore And I just got to say... It grows darker with each day oh oh oh ooh... oooh... [Verse 2: quieter again, trembling vocal, stripped-back instrumentation] Sometimes at night... I feel the end is near Tracing the ghosts of you with trembling fear I trace your face in shadows with trembling hands But the light slipped away... like the hourglass sand I hang my head and cry... cry... cry... Alone in this silence beneath a starless sky [Pre-Chorus: weary tone, sinking feeling] The nights... they are so long now I can’t remember it being light ohhhhh... [Chorus: emotional but restrained, soft strings, echo of loneliness] I call out (call out...) oh but I’m all alone Oh, my beautiful world... where did you go? There she goes (she goes...) my beautiful girl Nothing really matters anymore... Ohh... not anymore And I just got to say... It grows darker with each day oh oh oh ooh... oooh... [Bridge: spoken-sung, confessional, sparse ambience] Last night I lay trembling... the moon hanging low It was the end of love the end of all I know I’ve nailed shut the windows and locked all the doors Lying here in silence... with nothing anymore I’m just lying on my bed with nothing in my head O, the things we love... we lose instead [Chorus: final chorus, resigned and fading] I call out (call out...) oh but I’m all alone Oh, my beautiful world... where did you go? There she goes (she goes...) my beautiful girl Nothing really matters anymore... Ohh... not anymore And I just got to say... It grows darker with each day oh oh oh ooh... oooh... [Outro: whisper-soft, fading guitar, atmospheric decay] As I search above... and below Longing for something that I don't even know I’m just waiting now for my time to come Just waiting... for peace to come 'Cause nothing really matters anymore... Not anymore Because all I need is you... And without you I’ll never make it through Because all I need is you... And without you I’ll never make it through...
