(Intro)This is (outro) Hello it's Me!

[Intro – gentle acoustic guitar strum, soft piano arpeggio] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 1 – warm guitar chords, subtle shaker] I found your old note in a book I forgot Faded ink where you wrote what you thought Coffee stain on the corner page Brings me back to that rainy stage [Pre-Chorus – building piano, light drum tap] I’ve been thinking ‘bout the words I never said Wondering if you ever felt the same dread [Chorus – full band, layered vocals, warm bassline] Hello it’s me, I know it’s been a while I just needed to let this smile Fall off my face and say what’s true I still think about you [Verse 2 – acoustic guitar with added violin, soft snare] I passed the café where we used to go Saw your favorite chair with a stranger’s coat Wanted to wave but my feet froze fast Just watched the clock tick past [Pre-Chorus – swelling strings, steady drum beat] I’ve been carrying this weight for way too long Wondering if you ever sing that old song [Chorus – brighter tone, harmonized vocals, tambourine] Hello it’s me, I know it’s been a while I just needed to let this smile Fall off my face and say what’s true I still think about you [Interlude – piano solo, soft string accompaniment] (Instrumental Solo) [Bridge – stripped back acoustic guitar, intimate vocals] I don’t need a reply, don’t need a sign Just needed to get this off my mind Time moves on but some things stay Locked in the light of yesterday [Final Chorus – full band, soaring vocals, uplifting melody] Hello it’s me, I know it’s been a while I finally let that old smile Find its way back, and now I see I’m okay, and so are we [Outro – fading acoustic guitar, soft piano hum] Hello it’s me Goodbye, finally
