(Verse 1 – half-spoken, joint drag between every line)
Sittin’ on the porch steps, phone at 3%
scrollin’ through your Facebook like a fiend tryna score again
You at some party smilin’, I’m out here countin’ change
for another fuckin bowl to burn away your name
Overdraft alerts hittin’ like punches to the ribs
I spent my last twenty on beer so I don’t give a shit
You don’t even know I’m dyin’ out here slow
but I still check if you’re typin’ every time that bubble show
(Hook – lazy, cracked-voice singing)
You my favorite person, my favorite hurt
favorite reason I’m broke and still puttin’ you first
I look like hell but I’d still crawl through the dirt
just to sit outside your window in this stained-up shirt
Favorite person… favorite person…
I’m too broke to leave you, too broke to live
(Verse 2 – same slow drip, voice almost gone)
Got court next week, warrant for some dumb shit I did
when you stopped answerin’ and I lost my fuckin’ lid
Truck on bricks, no tags, grass growin’ through the hood
but I still drive past your house like that’s doin’ any good
Mama says “get over it,” like it’s that damn easy
I just nod, take a sip, and let the bugs bite me
I ain’t eaten in two days but I’ll starve for your attention
turn my pain into a song you’ll never even mention
(Hook – quieter this time, almost whispering)
You my favorite person, my favorite curse
favorite reason my life keeps gettin’ worse
I’d pawn my soul for one text that says you miss me
but I’m broke in every way, so I just sit here sickly
Favorite person… favorite person…
you cost me everything and I still pay the price
[Bridge – barely audible, like he’s talking to himself]
If I die out here
just throw me in the creek behind the trailer
tell ‘em it was you
so at least somebody says your name at my funeral
[Final Hook – voice breaks completely]
Favorite person, favorite person
favorite face I see when the pills kick in
Favorite person, favorite person
I’ll love you till the lights get shut off again
