How It Feels to Be Replaced (Lyrics)
[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
I guess this is how it feels to be replaced, mm

Has anyone else here been replaced? (Anyone doing any better?)
Me..
Not yet 😅
yes by my best friend now my friend is friends with a brat sadly
@@nanitrujillo1974 I'm sorry. My friend that I like replaced me with my ex
So many times till I just give up and stayed alone and never made friends
Doesn’t it hurt knowing that you’re best friend is becoming better friends with someone else.
Yessssssss😢
yup.
Yep. I go on holiday and I come back to my life long friend better friends with someone else...
it happened to me three times already..
It still hurts
You know the feeling when you consider somebody your bestfriend, but you dont know if they think of you as theirs
Yeh, my bestie dosent know how much love I have for her
terrible
Yes, I don't think my ex-best friend thought of me as her best friend, or she must have, but then she replaced me, with two other people.
I know the pain or being replaced, I really do, but what hurts more is the fact my ex friend was one of the best friends I've EVER had and they were forced to leave me she probably didn't consider me a best friend but it seemed she moved on so fast... I'm left here in shock months after while she is probably laughing with her friends I can't tell you how much she meant to me I would do anything for one more moment with her, I haven't moved on after months and I wont, and that's a fact I know.
@@serena_reallyepic it's been 8 months since she gave up. Its okay, you can get through this
it sucks missing someone who doesn't miss you
ikr..
True....
Totally..
honestly..
Like when you think about them every single damn day but you know them well enough they have forgotten about you :)
when your best friends make plans without you right in front of you
😔✊
me...
Everytime
Feel you
Same bro same
drop them they dont desreve a holesome person!!
It feels terrible when you have a great relationship with someone but one day they meet someone else who is "better than you" and you see how your old friendship slowly fades away while you know they're replacing you with that new person...
I feel you mate, i'm now suffering with this stupid irrational jealousy
I know how that feels.. I am currently battling depression and my suicidal thoughts because of it
@@vadsvoltube8131 same broooo
@@StrawberryMusic13 make better friends broo don't kill urself there are a lot of great friendships u haven't made yet.
@@AyushSharma-jp9wd Well, it's kinda hard when you've know the person since 1st grade and has been your best friend since! So please don't say "Just find new friends and don't kill yourself" I'm not being mean I'm just saying that it's kinda hard to.
"I think they're gonna win cuz they've been on a winning streak"
This line has a lot of meaning cuz he wants to show his friend its just a casual invitation like when u try to look cool even though inside u are just desperate to go out with them
Exactly, when you're tryna convince yourself and pretend that everything's fine just like the old days even tho you know nothing feels the same anymore
@@malakwael6850 ughh thats the worst feeling cuz there's this awkward tension you can't omit no matter how hard u try
y’all are beautiful that was deep❤️
I've been dumped three times by three different bestfriends.. I know exactly what you're talking about

When you realize you can't go back to those good old days...
this song sounds like “I Built A Friend” but in the robot friend’s point of view
edit: thank u for 4.5k :)
brooooo
Yesssssss
That’s what I felt like to-----
Yeah it kinda does
WOOOOW!!!
I brought a couple of tickets for me and my best friend but at the last moment he refused and said I've got some urgent work to do. I felt a bit upset but alright maybe some work is important than movie. The tickets was going waste so I thought let's go to watch movie alone, at least one ticket is gonna pay. I went to theatre and what I found is that my best friend is sitting next to me with some other person. I can't write my feelings in word. Maybe this is called replaced. By the way, thanks for reading.
Maybe it was a misunderstanding, maybe someone asked him before you did and you didn't know. Maybe you guys should talk about it before jumping to conclusions.
im rlly sorry that happend to you
@Ankur Solanki **hugs** it's ok
@@findingnemo8330 thanks
I know how you feel. It's ok
Do you know what hurts more than being replaced?
Thinking that you have a GREAT friendship with someone,when you really didn't.
Hits hard
Yea bro, I just lost my best friend and I'm trying to move on, whoever I join my other friend to play/talk she is always busy laughing with her other friends. All she does is say hi back to me when I say hi then ignore the rest of what I say. Its sad knowing we were close at first but I got replaced... The one person I didn't think would replace me did. Are last actual conversation was around a month ago, but the only reason she talked to me was cause her other friends weren't there, I feel like I'm always a third wheel just sitting there...
This is definitely the robots side of “I built a friend”
JustSoMany_Cups _ yes
Bro, for real.
Ong
Lmao
Yup
My best friend replaced me about last January for a group of other people.
She was my only friend.
And
The fear of her leaving was so fucking scary
Because she was the only person holding me together
And when she grew distant, and began pushing me away for very clearly better people...
I went into a deep state of depression.
And missed over 30 days of school
Because every other day
I’d see her talk to the people that are so much better than me.
Who know how to speak without stuttering
Who are so outgoing and confident
Who have absolutely none of my insecurities.
I became practically mute by the end of the school year because they made me feel like I never had anything worthwhile to say.
It hurts man.
It hurts more than a bullet wound and if anyone here tells me I’m wrong, they haven’t witnessed their best friend of 7 years slowly, tormentingly drift away day by day until you’re the background noise in their story.
I apologize for the vent. This song just- made me remember.
And it hit way too close to home.
I know I'm a year late but I just wanna say, it's okay to feel down but don't let the negative emotions get to you, you're an amazing person with a lot of potential. We all have ups and downs in our lives and it's okay if you feel down, you can try to talk to your close relatives like your parents or siblings (if you have any) I'm sure they'll be willing to help you. Just remember, you're an amazing person and there will always be someone who truly cares for you.
@@hiitsme5524 this is so sweet, thank you so much /g
I’m actually doing much better now. I’ve moved on now, and have made online friends that support me and accept me way more than that person ever has.
I still have bad thoughts here and there- but, I’m not as hard on myself as I was then. In a way, that experience made me much sturdier.
Thank you for reminding me of this comment. Sometimes it’s good to look back on these things and see just how much one has changed since.
@@panc3891 That's great, wishing you a happy and healthy life ^^
@@hiitsme5524 and you as well!!
I can relate...
Honestly, I’ve given up on trying to keep my friends, constantly clinging to them in fear that I’d lose them. Now I’m just avoiding them, have they noticed? Probably. It’s obviously because of this that my other friends have grown closer together, so I have no reason to complain about it. It may sounds selfish, but I wish they would notice that something isn’t right with me, but that’s all wishful thinking. No one will bother if I don’t make an effort, so I won’t. I’ve lost the motivation I once had for making, and keeping my friends.
Relatable; I stay quiet more now and don’t talk as much and only have a couple close irl friends and maybe a couple online friends. So for me it’s relatable and a little different too.
this was me in middle school, i just left and i dont think they noticed or they just didn't care - but i'll tell you it might be worth putting yourself out there and trying, you never know. I've talked to one person myself and we're pretty good friends I think, i hope it works out but still it's worth a shot :3
Same. On the first day of school they never thought of saving a spot for me. The girl who came first saved three seats for the other three girls but never for me but I didn’t think much of it but every time I turned their way I would see them all happily talking but the minute I come they stop talking like it’s a secret I shouldn’t know. This happened for a few days and I stopped going to them during breaks and lunch but they never noticed or they never cared and I think it’s the latter. It hurts so much but they’ll never know.
this is so relatable. they keep telling me i need to be involved more, but when i try all i do is get ignored and judged, and i watch my best friend replace me right in front of my eyes. i can’t do this anymore
@@smekkii same.
Watching your BEST FRIEND get a new one and forget about you is even harder than a break up. I thought besties were supposed to stick with you. Not forget about you...
Yes.
They are, but some just fade away..
@@StrawberryMusic13 we have been friend since we were 6. How does one just far away in the course of two months? We were perfectly fine😭
@@chanelchic6489 I know the feeling.. my friend who I knew since 1st grade kinda replaced me in a span of a few days..
I feel u
Anyone who’s been replaced knows the feeling of when you know that their kinda shunning you for someone else but you can’t say anything cause you don’t want to sound like the rude person who “just needs attention”...
yes
Yup.
Exactly why I can’t move on
Facts on facts
yeah but today i did said something which i hold for months and i really sound like the "childish friend who needs attention" 🙂💔 now i dont care anymore

Because of all the toxic friendships I've had I made a new rule for myself. If they don't try to keep the friendship going, neither should I.
Great advice, will use it for my situation. :)
thx for the advice helped me a lot
but if everyone does that who will try
@@_.x4084 it’s better to have no one rather than having someone who doesn’t care at all
Good idea I was kinda the wierd kid cuz i was a tomboy
I can relate to this song on so many levels. My friend of 3 years managed to replace me. At first, we were all a good friend group of 3. Then, they just kinda drifted away from me. They didn't want to be my friend anymore. It made me insecure and anxious. I was heartbroken. On top of that, I have to deal with family issues. My heart hurts. I've been replaced too many times. I feel annoying, like nobody wants to talk with me for too long. I hate it.
thats the same thing that happened to me but with my friend of 6 years..
•Çhãrłę Påśtrø• hey dude this is a comment section its where people put their thoughts, maybe you didnt know that...
i'm here for you
@@idot_aen.9815 shut the f up plz, thank you
honestly if i were you i would be puncing the crap out of those " friends " thats just me tho but good luck
The worst feeling is when your best friend starts to move on, starts to be embarrassed by your quirks, and has so many things to to other than spend an hour with you. The worst part of it all is when you start finding a new best friend but feel like your betraying them, and constantly fearing that the new one will betray you too.
I remember that feeling…
:3. I’m ready for my ears to get blessed again
me too !!
Me three
Me four!
mines r already blessed😃
It already happened for me yesterday at three something in the morning.
this is why i dont have friends cuz i always been replaced...:(
#relatable...
Well...
Ones still with me..😿👩🏼🏫👩🚒
Shes blonde one
alec benjamin:that we always have each other backs

Same here
Just to let you know,
You are not alone in this:(
Same... and it hurts every single time
When your best friend gets a boyfriend and stops talking to you, yet expects you to be there
why is this comment so relatable
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭Avni why are you doing this to me
Same😢 that's why I'm here
The fact that we relate to this song so much like for real this generation is twisted I mean people are online dating, people don't confess in person its mostly online now. Honestly I don't want to make friends or date because you know you always end up losing the people you love. Might as well not risk it and avoid making friends and dating. Some times its better to be alone. Omg thank you so much for the 1k likes! :)
I mean this generation is also amazing we’ve got so many thing and we are lucky enough to do so many things viewing things in a negative light is always gonna make you stay negative just remember all the great things too 💕 even just 20 years ago things were so different so many restrictions that we no longer have
your right about being alone...

Fri(ends) :(
@Random Person the more we get what we want the more society starts not to care and becomes selfish, To Anyone Reading, I dont fit in this generation and I'd rather much be gone then live it, I can see through people like glass and its causes me to be alone, and yes finding people is mostly online, I'm a teen with no social media, so I already dont fit in to begin with.
*and in my heart I felt something died inside of me...*
hits so hard...
It hit me to :(
Agree
Who agrees? Every time we all try to make friends we just end up getting replaced by someone else for those friends that we made. It's quite painful.
This is one of the worst feelings:
When you make plans with your friends going somewhere, they all say they can’t go. But you still go there anyway, and when you arrive, you see them there together, laughing, having fun.
Or when all your friends make plans without you, then tell you the next day about how fun it was.
Also when your having a drama and your best friend suddenly turns it all on you, blames it all on you.
It kills.
Can anyone else relate?
Yes %100
yes I have one true friend and she's the only one who invites me to things the other 2 just go out together cuz it's always been like this for them they could go out at 4 or 5 alone and I couldn't so I always have been replaced , now that I can go out alone I always ask them if they are in the place I'm going and they say yes and we meet but when I don't ask the thing about asking me if I can go in that place never cross their minds I don't understand why people can be so rude and not even recognizing
Im here because of the second and hurt so bad 💀
I can relate
yup :(
I've had a group of friends that i cherish so much. They were my best friends. But then i moved to another school, and it hurts to see my place being taken away by some people that i don't even know. It hurts so much knowing that i don't mean much to them like how they mean to me. And now here i am having trust issue and i don't have any friend to laugh with, to tell all my problems without feeling of being judged. I'm sorry to anyone reading this but i've been keeping this for so long i had to let it out.
No one can replace no one. Literally... And now you are in a new school, you can have new friends too. It is not betrayal. There is nothing bad with havinf new friends. It is not forgetting old ones. And just you shouldn't feel so bad if they still have contact with you, but don't try too much if they don't show the same or close effort to yours. Be strong, time sometimes hurts but it also is the one which gives hope. Have a good day. ^^
@@cloudberry7241 Thank you so much for your kind words. I forgot to mention that it's been 5 years since i moved, and I've been trying to have a friendship like i had with them but i couldn't. I don't know why but I'm never truly comfortable with friends that i have now. I've come to believe that there's something wrong with me.
Man that was my story I moved to a new school BC of middle school but most of the people I knew went to a public school that causes many fights or a magnet school. I went to a religious private school.. But its OK because I met nice people who I would go to highschool and college with no matter what. But my best friend stephanie is moving school next year. So it will just be me and one friend now..
You won't be replaced If you try to find new friends..I know how it feels to remember best friends and good memories with them, but I'm sure that they'll always remember you , I have trust issues too, finding good friends is not easy , but you should try to talk to some people , maybe you'll be friends with them and by the time you'll be best friends! It ain't too late to try to make friends , you have a long life you won't spend it all alone!.
Izzatul Husna this is exactly how I feel.. you are not alone 💕
Watching your best friend get new friends and having a boyfriend hurts.
It gives me a brief moment to think what happened to my social life why couldn’t I have done just that. Why couldn’t I be like more of my friend?
I could be wrong but it’s those introvert extrovert/ ambivert friendship until another person likes them comes along.
My friend gets tired of me because I don’t talk much and I don’t want to go out as much as she wants us to. I don’t talk much because I don’t have much going on around me. I only have one friend, and that’s her.
She would have the tea and the experiences to share it and we would gossip about it like in secondary, but it’s not the same now since we are in two both different colleges.
Now when she tells me what’s happening around her college with her friends, and where she’s planning on going with her boyfriend and bitches who used to go to our secondary school are doing, I jus feel left out. It’s hard enough to make friends in my own college because of the subject I picked, but it’s bad it’s bad when she’s go things going on her own.
I just wonder is my social life ruined because of the way I was raised?
Because I’m not very expressionate with her or my family. Like there’s been a delay in me. I have felt like I’ve been on freeze mode since primary school. Whilst everyone has been on fight or flight I’m just there in the present dissociating, while not having a grasp on reality I still understand it.
So I kept that feeling on a shelf like I do and still go along with this friendship even though I know it’s not right and it’s not meant to be I just worry that I might be forever alone without her when I clearly know it’s not good for me.
2 weeks ago I vanished from our “chats” (we don’t really talk much, yk the typical sending reels on insta, apart from that she just spills the tea and tells me what’s going on with what’s happening around her health,cats and bf that’s it)
I didn’t tell her why I just left because I had felt like that this friendship went nowhere with me and she had gone done these things without me which she could’ve done on her own, yet I couldn’t do that with myself. I had no opportunities to socialise with people who had something in common like us with our conditions and our sexuality.
To be honest I know she used me to fill her lonely, she just doesn’t realise that yet. I only say this because our college schedules match unlike her bf who is in a different college (she only sees her bf every Wednesday, lol Idek y I decided to put that in)
I would come over to her college lunch breaks after my classes are finished every time. I remember a time when she told me to meet her IN THE RAIN girl she was still in college TXTING HER BF if HE’S COMING OR NOT, LMFAO BISH PLS THEY WERE CONTEMPLATING IF HER BF WAS GOING TO COME TO HER COLLEGE. Girl I didn’t know what to do since I was near the area around her college where we meet all the time to have our lunch together almost ready to leave and heading to the bus stop until I decided I’m not leaving until her bf makes a fooking decision.
MIND YOU IT IS RAINING, POURING BITCHES, I’m getting wet. MORE WET THAN A SOGGY DOG. Or discharge.
I’m just literally waiting around until she txts me if her bf decides to come to give her company so I can leave. She gave me answer after, but me being the depressed bitch I decided to walk around the area and go to a park like a mopey whiny bitch that I am(dw it got sunny after).
Ik this is long and I doubt anyone is going to see it, read it or like it. I got into description with my venting. Ik I shouldn’t apologise to ppl who have seen this but. Sorry.
"how much do you love her?"
Me: "enough to let her be happy with another *friend* ! ❤️"
Me too bro
I leave her so that her friends wont make fun of her bcz of me
Same but it hurt af
I'd let her be best friends with somebody else. It'll hurt. It'll hurt bad. But if it makes her happy, then so be it.
Same but it hurts so bad as long as she’s happy I keep telling my self
"No one to go with me"
Thats me lol

@@cyberisdagoat56Do you know that-
My friend of 11 years replaced me. I was there for her while she was going through everything. I helped her get over her ED, I helped her with her anxiety, and getting her grades back up. And she never helped me with anything. She was the sweetest girl and I just can’t comprehend how this all happened. Because she’s changed so much and I can’t believe and don’t want to believe that she would do something like that. When me and her were 4 we made a promise that we would always be there for each other. I kept it and I hope she can fix it.
'Ive got tickets to the ballgame if you wana to go with me, I havent seen you in a minute I know its your favorite team. I think there going to win cause they've been on a winning streak" This makes me break down. And i know that nobody will see this but im going to rant anyway. My exbest friend of ten years lived by the baseball feild. We always went to games together and got to sit on the rooftop seats. I blame myself for what happened. She was hanging out with the girl she said she hated and who bullied me. She didnt even tell it to my face. And when i found out we worked it out the days before school started. She said it was going to be fine. But the next day, she ignored me completely. Nothing was ever the same. And i havent seen her in forever. I just had to dump another toxic friend so this hits hard.
This came out the day my friends started ignoring me and they replaced me

I ended our friendship because it was toxic,now she keeps trying to be my bestfriend angain.
And then a week ago she got social media and she is currently saying to people that I am her ex-bestfriend.
But now im in a healthier friendship,
I’m now in a friendship where there’s no drama.
I’m honestly happy that I met her.
Maya if you are reading this,thank you,
thank you for saving my life from sucuide.
I’m so sorry. I had a friend that lead to my suicidal thoughts
we have the same story here-
My best guy friend just told me today that he's had a girlfriend since the beginning of this year and how he was supposed to tell me but it never crossed his mind. He started ignoring me at the end of 2019 and started talking to me again sometime in March 2020 saying he missed & was worried about me, but now he says that he's honestly happier that he has her to talk to over quarantine than nobody. Like bro I've been the person you've talked to all the time for 5 to 6 years and now I've been replaced with someone you've known for 7 months.
I'm truly happy for him, but I feel horrible for feeling angry and sad
I feel you 😔
For what it's worth, I get what you mean. But you shouldn't feel horrible for feeling angry and sad. You lost a friend. Like I said, idk how much this helps, but I hope you're okay.
The exact same thing happened to me. I've lost too many to count at this point. Even one that was my best friend for 5 years
Same 💔

I know this feeling all too well and I hate it. I hope you're doing better
thats what i been dealing with..we used to laugh at stuff nobody understood..now she is laughing with somebody else..
I know that feeling
Yeah...I'm in my bed crying to this
My online bestfriend just told all my secrets and made fun of me. I don't know if I'm being overdramatic but I messaged them everyday and I was so happy to see their messages. But they just told me "I was annoying anyway"
Sorry for that if you see this
When I first saw the song title, I thought it was about love and breakup. But in the end, it was always about friendships....
"Friendships fade"
😭😭😭
Yeah🖤at the same time im glad i dont have To go troth all that again.. 😩😭
it' the sad truth..
Whenever I finally feel attached to a friend and before I even realized, I've already been replaced. Not once not twice, should be used to it by now but it still hurts me everytime that happens.
Yah... Whenever I try to get into a group of friends...It takes 2 days for them to get away from me....Hate when that happens....

I really love Alec, most especially his songs. His masterpieces are my everything.
Delicate T3ars ikr! 😥💜💜
They really overwhelm you with emotions
"And in my heart,
I felt like something died inside of me."
This hits hard ❤️
I have very low self esteem when it comes to relationships. I am very quick to think people are annoyed by and hate me. The last summer break I asked several people to do things with me but they all didn't give a straight answer only to decline when I asked them again last minute. One of them even forgot when we had our plans and what we wanted to do. This made me so incredibly scared to reach out to any of my friends, especially since we're all busy with school rn (we're graduating in 2022) but when I don't hang out with friends I feel like everyone hates me. It's a bit of a cycle I guess.
Idk, I just had to get that out.
No need to be sorry :) It’s good to vent sometimes
Im liking before it starts because I know it’s going to be awesome.
my best friend replaced me in fifth grade
it hurt so much
School’s been hard lately, I just lost my only friend and I feel so alone 😔 I can relate to this song so much
"I got tickets to the ball game" you can hear the pain in his voice.💔
I knew this song was going to hurt when I clicked on it but I didn’t expect it to take this much of a hold... wow.
"Oh wait that's my story "
Memories come back
__🦋🦋stay happy with the melody 🦋🦋
wow i was most emotionally prepared for how hard this song would hit rn. brb crying lol
Everyone here can relate to each other...we’ve been replaced by a friend or someone else...it’s sad when you lose someone you’ve know for a while and they replace or forget about you.
My bestie has been acting cold to me...and every time I write something she claims it as it's "Dramatic" or "Depressive" I be like "That's how I write" She's like "Ok whatever" and ever since I join her she be like "Hi Alex." And I be like "Hi!" And she never talks to me unless my other friend joins and she be like "Haiiii angie!" And she keeps talking to her and ignore me...and if no one joins , she doesn't talk to me she just leaves the game...I want to talk to her but I feel like she will act cold to me or ignore me...and til' now I still care about her...I feel like I'm the reason why she acts cold...and I don't think it'll end up good..
you have to talk to her tho ... even if its hard i k but you have to do it to make things clear and also you have to listen to her maybe u did something she s mad about so listen to what she s gonna say to find out
This happened to me so i started first year this year and i didn't know anyone in my class exept one girl who was my friend in primary school but then i was in my base class and this girl lets call her mickaela asked me if we had school the nect day and so we got talking and bcame best friends just like that and so a few days later we met a few other girls and then we became a little group and so mickaela because better friends with them and started to eave me oyt but then i met my bestie sophia and we dont realy talk to mickaela but we still have the group amd sit together at lunch and stuff but if u want i can be ur friend i really need it as well
@@dejlanairi5422 I talked to her...and things turned out the wrong way amd it's messed up now...she unfriended me...
@Curious Mind I did talk to her....she said "Why are you attacking me??! You ruined my mood" and it's messed up now..
@Minrui Yang Wang I tried to ignore her but , i confronted her and asked her why is she like this she said "Why are you attacking me??! You ruined my mood" and then I apologized and left the game...
As for angie..well it's messed up now between me and my "bestie" so she unfriended me..and now things are messed up..

I was bestfriends with this girl since 1st grade she was literally like my whole world we would do everything together she was like my little sister but ever since we started middle school we drifted...we barely talk now it’s like we don’t even know each other..but it’s fine🥺Watching her with other people hurts but it’s fine..Now she has a boyfriend and she doesn’t need my advice anymore because she has her new friends😔
I think i know how that feels, even though i‘m just in elmentary school. And i’m scared of the moment when i change school, and our journey will divide in to two different futures. I’m sorry
Im sorry 8 didn't know all of ya were going though heard times things get better love you and be safe take care
Please, send her this song. Don't let this friendship end. Please!!!! Try to talk to her and tell me what happened
its ok im going through the same stuff with a boy bsf
I had a bestfriend since 2nd grade. We were in a lockdown together in 3rd grade and promised each other no matter what we’d always be bestfriends. When 8th grade started we had all classes together and I was so happy. But she never talked to me. And she never wanted to sit by me or be partners. She didn’t care about me anymore and made some new friends. And I miss her so much :((
I've been replaced too many times that I was also forced to let go of them.
They defined my life, me, my everything but at some point, we all changed.
Thinking back now, after all these years, I don't regret how things turned out. Nobody can stop a person from leaving if that's what they want.
This song actually hits me so hard I started literally crying. It reminds me of how me and my friends. I had to change schools when I was in 9th Grade. I was in the same school ever since my first so I'm quite attached to my friends here. However, as time passes by, despite us keeping in touch through Discord and Facebook and everything, I felt like I was no longer relevant anymore. Despite the school being in the same area, I've never got to see them at all. And even now, I still feel like I've been forgotten by the only group of people I care about. It hurts, but it's inevitable.
my friend got a girlfriend and they keep ignoring me im crying i feel useless.... i need help in my lifetime i know how it feels ...
you're not useless, i know the feeling. You gotta push through. Things are hard, and I'm sorry that that happened, but things will get better, but they can only get better in another chapter.
*and my best friend just got a girlfriend.and I don’t hear from him anymore*
ok so sad story time!
so right now I have a best friend named Ally! we are very close friends now but.. whenever her friend magic joins.. she always goes on a call with her and then leaves me lonely.. and I feel like she's replacing me.. and I know she says she wouldn't ever replace me but i just have a feeling that she's replacing me.. (update) so my bsf did a replacing prank on me and now i've hurt her feelings then we made up but now she's mad at me again.. (update) now im worried that my other friend Teddy is gonna steal her from me idk why i just think she is- aHEM (updateeeee) her friend (Magic) is mad at her bc she got a new friend called Mich,& she's mad bc Ally has been calling & playing with her new Best Friend Mich for a whole week
I was just at a pool with a bunch of people and the one thing I was excited for was to see a friend I haven't seen much since covid and we hardly talked.. I was all alone and she had another friend who hung out with the whole time and barely acknowledged me lol
"I've got tickets to the ball game and no one to go with me"
This hits me hard dude : )
*Sometimes I wonder what would happen if I just stopped trying?*
Whenever I thought of my bestfriend I felt happy and content within our friendship.
Now I have breakdowns in the store buying her gifts, anxiety when I go to sleep, and feel like I'm straining myself trying to keep us connected. I don't think she even notices it.
I know slowly losing your friend isn't the same thing as being replaced but it's still a hard thing to go through. I barley have anything to remember her with besides a necklace that I'm never going to take off. I've been losing my bond with her for a year now only a few months ago she said to her mom that I overheard "She is always talking about her life and never listening to me" and I know I'm always being manipulated by her I'm just her puppet that can't escape its strings all I do is listen to her, but she doesn't care anymore about me and how I feel and I talked to her the other day but I can't get over the fact those words came out her mouth and I can't talk to her about it unless I want to lose her forever. I had this friend for 6 years and now I know how she feels it's painful I wish she'd already replace me, so I don't have to go through this pain of knowing she talks about me behind my back.
i wasn't a best friend, i was "The Person I Use When I'm Bored and When I Make New Friends I Replace Her" my bday was actually sep 2 and do yall know what she gave me for my bday? she GAVE ME DAMN TRUST ISSUES. she EVEN LEAKED my snap on OMEGLE and the next day feel like its a no big deal. and i'm the one thinking i was always the one to blame while it was her all along. the one who talked shit about me after arguments. now bc of HER, i can't make friends and i can't say what i actually feel towards a person. BC OF MY GOD DAMN TRUST ISSUES. thanks for the best bday gift ever Julie. best friends really do come and go, don't they.
My best friend was like the brother I've always wanted, I was able to talk to him about *anything* and he'd listen...
He was the first person I came out to, and he supported 100%, but when he's parents found out, they made him cut contact with me.
I see once in a while that he's with someone else, I'm just happy he's happy...
But I'm sad that I had to be replaced... I'm lonely...
It's been over a year now... :c
same except for the parents part...
Visit him
Same man it's been a week I didn't see him,and I also came to know that he made up other friends and he even don't care about me that I was his friend,he just forget everything we made promise 🫂🥲
I miss her so much it hurts. My heart breaks everytime someone mentions her name. But hey, as long as she is happy with her new bestfriend right?
This song makes me fear losing my buddy. We've been pals since 4th grade, and I love him so much. I dont ever wanna lose him.
Don't worry not all friendships end.
@@eyelessjack7392 sadly mine did woth more than one person
"I've got tickets to the ballgame and no one to go with me"
I feel you much,it always happen to me,i always wanted a friend eith xome along when going to somewhere but always like winded if you're asking them ebcause they're busy now to their love lifes or something else.
If you read this just call your best friend and tell then that you love them maybe this will be the last time you will ever talk to them and remember life is too short to lose friends
It hurts even more when, after they’ve left you crying on the bathroom floor, you realize that you loved them as more then a friend...that the ache in your chest that burns every time you breathe in and sob out is actually your heartbreaking because you lost the love of your life and not you missing them as a friend...yeah...this song makes my chest ache in a familiar way
Ever since I first heard one of Alec Benjamin’s songs I’ve known that this man’s songs are stories. Tales that can make me feel things nothing else can.
These mean a lot to me.
Why are some of his best songs not on spotify! It's killing me I love listening to them
Kinda Early Squad! Yall There!
Is this how sherlock fear he might feel on that whole john's getting married episode
Oh my gods you're a genius!
Its hurts when your bestfriend is getting close to someone else but it hurts more when you know that their new friends are using them for timepass but now your bestfriend doesn't believe you!😭😭
This song is honestly making me cry so much, it's such a sad and emotional song😭😭❤❤
My bff was slowly replacing me and the she back stabbed my by calling my heath issues embarrassing and then started talking crap about me and she now hates my guts so now she is my ex bff.
How else can relate?
I totally forgot this beautiful song existed. lately I’ve been have friendship problems with my best friend for 8 years. they told me they felt uncomfortable around me and that they want to talk to others more. it hurts like hell but i think we shouldn’t be friends anymore. it’s hard to let them go but I think it’s for the best. if their reading this i would like to say I’m sorry for making you uncomfortable and I’m so sorry for being a shitty friend. I hope we can go our own ways in life and still talk to each other like responsible human beings.
Its funny how the person you think would never leave you and always have your back can blow you off and ghost you for weeks all because theyve grown tired of your company. So now everyday at school and online you see them doing everything yall used too with someone else. I dont think ill ever be able word it feels to watch your bestfriend move on right in front of your eyes
Fun fact I broke my arm and while in the hospital I listed to Alec Benjamin and my arm got better faster than usual for my age
You know how hard to stay yourself when you know you are replaceable at everything that you are.
Every word of this song... I felt it. In the beginning when things are great and you’re happy it’s easy to think you’ll have a friendship that lasts forever, but people are fickle. When they find someone better, you’ll get left behind, and you just can’t figure out where you gone wrong, or what you could have done differently to keep them in your life- to keep them interested, and that hurts. It hurts to watch a friendship you cherish so much die like that. No matter how hard you try to rekindle it, they just don’t care the same anymore.
This is why I'll ask my boyfriend to spend time with his friends (if I ever get one). If I care for him, I will respect his other relationships and make sure they don't fade away. Honestly, I would never want to make anyone feel this way because I've been taking up their best friend's time.
Used me for my body everyday and when I told him I got tired of doing these type of stuff for him everyday he broke up with me at 1am in the morning not even giving me time to text him back just immediately blocked me and started dating somebody else..he put her name everywhere on his bio and posted her ..but he never done that stuff with me, all we had was our little moments of him telling me nobody could hurt me cz I had him,he made me feel at home and safe
I look at this song, and you can feel the pain in all the lyrics. I don't think this song is just about this story of a guy who lost his friend because his friend got married/started dating someone. I think this song is also about a little bit of closure as well.
"Oh I'd hate for this to be the end but I just can't see how we can mend this divide."
This line to me is about finding closure and coming to the realization that their lives have changed. His friend likely has a wife or a girlfriend and because of that, they are growing apart. As we grow up sometimes we lose friends who we thought were always gonna be there. Life tends to get in the way though, as we often drift apart from those we once called friends. As this realization hits you can sometimes feel like you are unwanted or like you've been replaced, and sometimes that does happen. This just means its time to move on from that chapter of your life with that person. Especially if they aren't putting effort into a friendship.
If you talk to your friend about how you feel in this instance and they don't seem to care, it's okay to walk away from a friendship. People sometimes are only apart of a page or a chapter of your life, and it's definitely okay to prioritize your happiness sometimes.
"our anniversary" 🙄
*I never was replaced because I didn't even have real friends or people whom I consider close to me to begin with*
*it's better than losing them*

Lol found my comment a year later :')
Same shit man , I'm kinda disappointed in myself and sometimes it gets really lonely, I hope I'll find a that one person some day.
Alec's voice is so soft here. His songs always feel like warm hugs. It's amazing how everyone can relate to his songs. Thank you so much, Alec. You are the friend we never had.

I'm Broken But Happy ?
I know how it feels to be replaced I just got replaced. This new girl came to my school and in after 2 mouths I already got replaced. Now my more then BFF hates me and says she's only my friend to not make me sad. I never thought this could happen, I don't sleep every night anymore, I keep crying without them knowing, and this is the second time I got replaced, I think this friendship is gonna end now. Im super sad, worst thing in my life. :
So, this past week I have been falling asleep in tears because I began realizing the new girl of this year was becoming better friends with my bestfriends. So I decided to check my youtube and this song came up. Love this song💘
You know what hurts is realizing your friends never really cared about how you felt they called you their best friend but they haven’t reached out to you to ask how you are doing since you left school in March and you realize that you were there for them no matter what but they never cared and wouldn’t be there for you if you were going through something like you are now as you are realizing that you have been dealing with more trauma than you realized and that you were mentally and physically abused for almost all of your childhood but you couldn’t bare to get them in trouble because they weren’t bad all the time just most and it’s hard because you know no one gets it or really cares and you can’t explain it and you feel like your whole personality is built around abuse and trauma and your entire life feels like a waste but you have no one that really cares and your “friends” use for homework and for some one to vent to and you realize you only have two friends who actually care about you so yeah
Thanks for reading this if you did I know it’s a mess but honestly so is my brain right now so yeah sorry
I got replaced by another person in the friendgroup im just standing here now alone and watching them being happy
They wait 2 days before they open my messages
They tell me im too weird
It’s been 66 weeks since I’ve seen my best friend in person last and we’re spreading more and more apart by the day.
Its been 232 since we broke up
that song is actually remembering my ex bff who havn't talked to me for almost 7 months...
