The words

Lyrics

You doubt your worth on cloudy days But I see gold in all your shades The way you hold me, calm the storm You’ve been my shelter all along You never see the way you shine But I do, every single time If I could give you one thing in this life It’d be the mirror from my eyes You’d see the way you make me feel How every broken piece you heal My best friend, my heart, my peace You are everything to me Some things are hard to say out loud But loving you — I’ve never doubted If I did one thing right, you know It’s choosing you, and never letting go You never see the way you shine But I do, every single time If I could give you one thing in this life It’d be the mirror from my eyes You’d see the way you make me feel How every broken piece you heal My best friend, my heart, my peace You are everything to me And maybe someday you’ll believe You’re more than what the world can see So take this song, and hear me now It’s all the ways I’d show you how You’re my forever, my safe place The love I never could replace My best friend, my heart, my peace You are everything to me

Behind the song

The story

On the cloudy days he doubts his own worth, and never once sees the way he steadies her, the way he's been her shelter all along. She's wanted, for ten years now, to hand him the mirror from her own eyes — to show him the man who calms her storms and quietly heals the broken pieces, the best friend and the safe place she could never replace. Some things are hard to say out loud. Loving him was never one of them. For the partner who can't quite believe how much they're loved, played a song they'll have to hear twice.

How to give it

Giving a personal song

Should I make the gift about fixing his confidence?

Keep it about your own appreciation and perspective. Describe the qualities you notice without suggesting the recording must change his feelings or solve a difficulty.

Is this the recording I receive when I order a custom gift?
