[Verse 1]
[Fingerpicked acoustic guitar | Soft, close-mic’d vocals | Whispered, intimate delivery]
I’ve seen a lot of people come and go,
Tried to hold on, but I learned to let go.
But you, you didn’t force your way,
You just stayed, and that changed everything.
You don’t say much, but when you do,
It’s like the whole damn world feels true.
I didn’t know what I was missing
‘Til I caught myself just listening.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
[Light piano adds warmth | Subtle vocal harmony | Voice slightly stronger but still restrained]
You don’t need to shine to stand out,
You’re the peace I never talked about—
⸻
[Chorus]
[Strummed acoustic guitar | Gentle percussion enters | Vocals emotional, warm, slight swell on last line]
You are my favorite person,
Even on the days we don’t talk.
You’re in my mind like a gentle song
That hums beneath the noise so strong.
I don’t need a reason—
It’s just something I know.
You are my favorite person,
And I thought you should know.
⸻
[Verse 2]
[Return to fingerpicking | Voice more grounded, confident | Soft background pad support]
You don’t try to play it cool,
You just show up, and that’s your rule.
You’re not a spark, you’re steady light,
The kind that gets me through the night.
I don’t say it out loud enough,
But you’re my soft place when life gets tough.
And when I’m slipping off the edge,
You talk me down without a net.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
[Same as before | Harmonies slightly fuller | Slight emotional build in delivery]
No big words, no grand design,
Just your hand quietly holding mine—
⸻
[Chorus]
[Same full instrumentation | Vocal delivery deeper, more open but never pushed]
You are my favorite person,
Even on the days we don’t talk.
You’re in my mind like a gentle song
That hums beneath the noise so strong.
I don’t need a reason—
It’s just something I know.
You are my favorite person,
And I thought you should know.
⸻
[Bridge]
[Strip down to just piano and voice | Sing very soft and vulnerable | Slight break in voice on last line encouraged]
You’re not perfect, hell, neither am I,
But we fit without even trying.
And if the world ever makes you doubt,
Play this and let it drown it out.
⸻
[Final Chorus]
[Reintroduce full instrumentation | Light strings or ambient backing | Vocals fully emotional, but still honest and controlled]
You are my favorite person,
Even on the days we don’t talk.
You’re in my mind like a gentle song
That hums beneath the noise so strong.
I don’t need a reason—
It’s just something I know.
You are my favorite person,
And I thought you should know.
