      And personal experience comes into play too, it’s truly when you pour your heart out and show your passions and emotions... everyone should truly appreciate themselves every now and then, because we all are capable of being great people.

    [Verse 1]
    It's been eighteen weeks since I've seen my friend
    And it's hard for me to comprehend how this happened
    Oh, perhaps it's just a phase
    When we turned thirteen, yeah we made a pact
    That we'd always have each other's backs
    And it's tragic, but I think I've been replaced
    [Pre-Chorus]
    Seems to me those days I don't know time for fun
    No more time for friendship
    Just last week I called him up to make some plans, I said
    [Chorus]
    "I've got tickets to the ballgame if you want to go with me
    I haven't seen you in a minute, I know it's your favorite team
    I think they're gonna win 'cause they've been on a winning streak
    And maybe when we're finished we could kick it by the beach"
    You said "Hey man," and "Listen, I would love to, but you see
    I've got plans with the missus for our anniversary"
    I said "Alright, I miss you, could you call me when you're free?"
    And in my heart, I felt like something died inside of me
    [Post-Chorus]
    I guess this is how it feels to be replaced, mm
    I guess this is how it feels to be replaced, mm
    I've got tickets to the ballgame and no one to go with me
    I never thought that this is how my life was gonna be
    I guess this is how it feels to be replaced, mm
    [Verse 2]
    Oh, I'd hate for this to be the end
    But I just can't see how we can mend this divide now
    I don't think there's any way
    I know friendships fade and plans can change
    Was naive to think that we would stay close forever
    Maybe that was my mistake
    [Pre-Chorus]
    Seems to me those days I don't know time for fun
    No more time for friendship
    Just last week I called him up to make some plans, I said
    [Chorus]
    "I've got tickets to the ballgame if you want to go with me
    I haven't seen you in a minute, I know it's your favorite team
    I think they're gonna win 'cause they've been on a winning streak
    And maybe when we're finished we could kick it by the beach"
    You said "Hey man," and "Listen, I would love to, but you see
    I've got plans with the missus for our anniversary"
    I said "Alright, I miss you, could you call me when you're free?"
    And in my heart, I felt like something died inside of me
    [Post-Chorus]
    I guess this is how it feels to be replaced, mm
    I guess this is how it feels to be replaced, mm
    I've got tickets to the ballgame and no one to go with me
    I never thought that this is how my life was gonna be

    It’s been 18 weeks
    Since I’ve seen my friend
    and it’s hard for me to comprehend
    How this happened
    Oh perhaps it’s just a phase
    When we turned 13
    Yea we made a pact
    That we’d always have each other’s backs
    And it’s tragic
    But I think I’ve been replaced
    Seems to me those days are done
    no time for fun, no more time for friendship
    Just last week I called him up to make some plans I said
    I’ll get tickets to ball game if you will go with me
    I haven’t seen you in a minute I know it’s your favorite team
    I think they are going to win cause they’ve been on a winning streak
    And maybe when we are finished we can kick it by the beach
    You said hey man hey listen I Would love to but you see I’ve got plans with the missus for our anniversary
    I said alright I miss you could you call me when you’re free
    And in my heart I felt like something died inside of me
    I guess this is how it feels to be replaced x2mmm
    I bought tickets to the ball game and you don’t want to go with me

Everytime we make plans, she cancels on that day with shitty excuses that I don’t even believe anymore. She changed college, she moved in another city and has her new group of friends there... this song hits home.

It’s just kinda crazy how went from super close to barely talking to each other with no apparent reason. And when I do text her it’s just a weak response mostly reactions than comments or contributions. Just hasn’t felt the same sense.

    I remember there was a time when I was constantly feeling so empty and so desperate and lonely, but at the same time I couldn't bear anyone being near me. And in addition to that I felt bar because in my eyes I had no reason to feel that way .It was only much later that when I finally cut ties with the person that made me feel that way that I realized how they really had been the whole reason I felt so awful. Only when that immense weight was lifted off my shoulders and was starting to get better with every day that passed without them . At first I could not enjoy being free because I felt so incredibly guilty and at the same point I even thought I was the one causing all the trouble to begin with but I know now that it was the right choice .I finally learned to love myself again and there are still so many people who love me .Thanks all for reading this

    [LYRICS]
    It's been eighteen weeks since I've seen my friend
    And it's hard for me to comprehend
    How this happened, oh perhaps it's just a phase
    When we turned thirteen, yeah we made a pact
    That we'd always have each other's backs
    And it's tragic, but I think I've been replaced
    Seems to me those days are done
    No more time for fun, no more time for friendship
    Just last week I called him up
    To make some plans I said,
    "I've got tickets to the ballgame if you wanna go with me
    I haven't seen you in a minute, I know it's your favorite team
    I think they're gonna win cuz they've been on a winning streak
    And maybe when we're finished we can kick it by the beach"
    You said "Hey, man, now listen, I would love to but you see,
    I've got plans with the missus for our anniversary,"
    I said, "Alright, I'll miss you, could you call me when you're free?"
    And in my heart I felt like something died inside of me
    I guess this is how it feels to be replaced,
    I guess this is how it feels to be replaced.
    I've got tickets to the ballgame, and no one to go with me.
    I never thought that this is how my life was gonna be.
    I guess this is how it feels to be replaced.
    Well I'd hate for this to be the end
    But I just can't see how we could mend this divide now
    I don't think there's any way
    I know friendships fade and plans can change
    It was naive to think that we would stay close forever
    Maybe that was my mistake
    Seems to me those days are done
    No more time for fun, no more time for friendship
    Just last week I called him up
    To make some plans I said,
    "I've got tickets to the ballgame if you wanna go with me
    I haven't seen you in a minute, I know it's your favorite team
    I think they're gonna win cuz they've been on a winning streak
    And maybe when we're finished we can kick it by the beach"
    You said "Hey, man, now listen, I would love to but you see,
    I've got plans with the missus for our anniversary,"
    I said, "Alright, I'll miss you, could you call me when you're free?"
    And in my heart I felt like something died inside of me
    I guess this is how it feels to be replaced,
    I guess this is how it feels to be replaced.
    I've got tickets to the ballgame, and no one to go with me.
    I never thought that this is how my life was gonna be.
    I guess this is how it feels to be replaced.

      Ananya Kharat I just moved back to my parents. But it was a big let down for me. Living with other people that are not part of your family is not as easy and “fun” as it might sound at first. Especially because our generation is full of introverts and sharing a place with ppl you’re not 100% comfortable with will never truly feel like you’re “home”

    I watched this and sobbed. My two best friends confessed to eachother and now I have no idea what to do. I feel replaced, and its not even for eachother. The female best friend of the two has started getting more angry at me easier and has started talking to other people more than me. I understand she has other friends and I respect that, but it seems like she talks to them A LOT. Then the boy best friend....I have liked him for 5 years, almost 6, and I confessed. After I confessed, he "confessed" back right after admitting he liked the female best friend. He led me on then told me he didn't really like me. I wouldn't have cared if he just told me he didn't like me in the first place!

      Just wanted to remind you that you are irreplaceable. If that person decided that you weren't enough or just moved on without you, just let it be. You are so much than that, you are so much more than a disposable friend or partner, you are a complete human being and you will find people who will love you and stay by your side in this jurney we call life. You'll see how things get better.👆 cheers bro/sis

    Hard to think about how she drifted away so quick.
    It’s hard to look at the photos.
    Her and her friends.
    Having fun.
    Living their life.
    Getting drunk.
    Getting high.
    Going to parties.
    Laughing so hard.
    I guess that’s why she left.
    I don’t smoke.
    I don’t vape.
    I don’t drink.
    I hate parties.
    I have anxiety.
    I cant go out at night without thinking about what could happen if my mom finds out.
    I talk to much.
    I got her to order for me.
    I always asked to hangout.
    She was my only friend.
    She wasn’t there for me when I needed her most.
    How could I be so blind.
    How did I call her my bestfriend for 2 years.
    She knew those girls for 2 months.
    And she chose them over me.

    I have a friend. She means a lot to me. She says she loves me but something changed in the last few months between us. We have been friends for 3 years. Now she ignores my messages. When I say this to her, she says that she doesn't talk with anybody. There is a game that we used to play together. I said 'If you play it, let me know so we can play it together.' and she said ok. When I enter the game I saw her playing it with someone else. The last time I said that she was like 'I am going to play it someone else.' You can think like 'It is just a game.' but this game has a story between us. I just wanted to spend time together like we used to do. We 'are' best friends, I feel like our friendship is fading and this is killing me slowly. And this song just reminded me her
    Edit: It's been 11 months since I wrote this. Nothing changed since then. I still feel lonely and replaced. We're still friends, best friends but I'm still broken inside. I don't know what to do, to be honest. I just wish this pain to end. I just want somebody to get excited with me. That's all.

    and my another three years old friendship ends up really bad. she hates me now, and she is stealing my friends now. Im trying to ignore her like 3 months but it's so hard and im studying for university exam ( like sat) this year. and I did not anything bad for her.

    I had a best friend that was my world. We loved each other and we were inseparable. I had to leave her, though, and move away. I remember her mom called mine and said she cried for hours. We saw each other whenever we could but slowly moved apart. She has someone else now, someone she's closer to. Now I haven't talked to her in 2 years. I miss her everyday but I know that she's happier without me. I knew she had to find someone new someday.

    I’ve been hearing Alec since a long time now, but I find this song of his to be the one closest to my heart.
    Lately, it has been a year since me and my best friend have actually been talking like the way we used to be. She found new friends and when she feels cornered by them, she comes over to me. It’s sad to be a second option to somebody whom you consider to be the first option in your life, but I think that is the truth at least in my case and I’ll have to carry one. I hope no one does undergo through this feeling, it really does hurt.
