Favorite color

We used to stay up till 3
Talking ‘bout everything
Your childhood, your family
Every little in-between

You knew why I overthink
What makes me shut down
Every version of me
That I don’t show around

⸻

Pre-Chorus
It wasn’t surface-level
You knew me down to the bone

⸻

Chorus
Now I’m back to “what’s your favorite color?”
Like I’ve never been known by another
Like I didn’t give someone everything I am

And it feels so strange
Saying things I used to say
Like they’re brand new again
To someone who doesn’t understand

I hate starting over
When I’ve already been that close
I don’t wanna go back
To being someone you don’t know

⸻

Verse 2
They ask me what I like
What music I play
And I answer it politely
But it doesn’t feel the same

‘Cause you knew without asking
You’d just look and understand
And now I’m explaining
Like I’m someone new again

⸻

Pre-Chorus
And I know this is normal
But it doesn’t feel right

⸻

Chorus
Now I’m back to “what’s your favorite color?”
Like I’ve never been known by another
Like I didn’t let someone see everything

And it feels so fake
Repeating things I used to say
Like they don’t already mean
Something deeper than they seem

I hate starting over
When I’ve already been that far
I don’t wanna go back
To the beginning after all

⸻

Bridge (quiet, emotional)
How do you go from everything
To nothing at all?
From knowing every little thing
To small talk in a call?

And I know I’ll get there someday
With someone new again
But right now it just feels wrong
To not already be known like that

⸻

Final Chorus (soft, reflective)
So I’ll answer “favorite color”
Like it’s simple, like it’s nothing
But it feels like losing
Everything we used to be

And maybe one day
It won’t feel this way
But right now I’m still stuck
On someone who knew everything
