"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
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 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.
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.
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...
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...
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.
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.
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 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
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
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”...
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
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.
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
@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.
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!.
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.
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.
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.
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.
'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.
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.
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💘
Loeyy it has been a year since you wrote this comment. I hope you're feeling better now. I just want you to know that I think everyone feels that way once in a while. God loves you. He knows you better than anyone.
@@savagepenguin5599 I'm sorry for you, i hope everything turns better. Life has worse times and then the better ones. You deserve so much better than this♥️
This was a comfort song of mine for a while and still is. I had a friend in 1st grade and we were close til 3rd. A new kid had been placed in here class and she became friends with them and left me out. There were more new kids after that and she ignored me after that for 2 months. When she started to talk to me again I was put into I didn't want to do. I was told to throw toys over the fence of our school and let cars run it over. It was another friend's toy that she gave me and it hurt inside and made me cry more than I used too. I have grow up with attachment issues now to friends and get jealous when they talk to others. lucky for me I have somebody who understands that now and I've be controlling it well. Thanks for reading this have a good day/night 💛
I relate to this song so much. I had this bestfriend that I thought she would stay forever,turns out she used me as a doll. 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.
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.
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.
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
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.
I know you won’t ever read this Alec, but if you do I want you to know that you have been my favorite artist for 3 years now. Your lyrics are so touching, intricate, and overall beautiful. You seem to be a very down to earth person and you are so talented that it cannot be expressed in any amount of words. Your voice is so gentle, calming, and genuine! My family get annoyed with me because of how much I talk about you, but I will never stop. I love you Alec and I am incredibly proud of your beautiful progress.
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
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.
To anyone who is currently being replaced or isn’t doing the best, stay strong! You arent the only one dealing with all of this.💕 im sure half of us are listening to this and remembering someone we loved and eventually fell apart with. Could’ve fell apart from a fight or replacement, but dont ever think negatively and stay positive! Talk to someone, it helps alot. Hope whoever is reading this has a nice day!☺️
*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 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.
its normal that your bestfriend is having a new friend/bestfriend.. . . . but it hurts that he/she totally forgot that you're also his/her bestfriend.. 🙂
@@idot_aen.9815 and no one asked for your useless comment. Try to learn to ignore something that bothers you, because you have no right to bother others... ok? Ok
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.
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 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 🫂🥲
Wow this hit deep. I’m on my way to Alec’s concert in Dallas, it’s my 13th B-Day present and I’m going with my best friend as well so it just made me think of what our future will be.
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
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 :((
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.
"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.
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.
I missed listening to Alec..i used to listen to him 24/7 when i was a young teen..well now im almost a young adult..how fast times fly is scary..my life is better now and Alec was there for the hard times..my taste in music changed ALOT now i listen to mitski,tyler,lana,odetari,and more..my playlist used to only be Alec and Anson sabrea(i think thats his name im not sure)
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
@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..
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.
It hurts the most when you introduce two of your best friends, and they become closer than you were with them, and eventually become toxic towards you. Im crying just typing this..
My friend just said one day that she felt there was a gap between us, I asked her if I had done something wrong, and what hurts the most is that even when she says I've done nothing wrong I have to pretend I am not excited to see her anymore and be distant.
this is happening to me now. I have a best friend and I saw her all the time when she was single. but now she's got a boyfriend, and I haven't seen her in months. So this song hit me right in the heart.
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
"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

I've been dumped three times by three different bestfriends.. I know exactly what you're talking about
Woah, thanks for explaining 😁
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

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

When you realize you can't go back to those good old days...
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.

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...
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..

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...
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 :(
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.
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
*and in my heart I felt something died inside of me...*
hits so hard...
It hit me to :(
Agree
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…
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...

@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.
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 💕
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.

This is definitely the robots side of “I built a friend”
JustSoMany_Cups _ yes
Bro, for real.

Yup
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.
:3. I’m ready for my ears to get blessed again
me too !!
Me three
Me four!

It already happened for me yesterday at three something in the morning.
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!!!
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.
"And in my heart,
I felt like something died inside of me."
This hits hard ❤️
I really love Alec, most especially his songs. His masterpieces are my everything.
Delicate T3ars ikr! 😥💜💜
They really overwhelm you with emotions
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.
this is why i dont have friends cuz i always been replaced...:(

Just to let you know,
You are not alone in this:(
Same... and it hurts every single time
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.
Alec has this amazing talent of explaining our feelings, which we can't in words. Your hard work is underrated, Alec. We love you.
'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.
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.
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💘
ill never be good enough, I'm always gonna be everyone's second choice, as soon as someone better comes along i just get replaced

When I first saw the song title, I thought it was about love and breakup. But in the end, it was always about friendships....
This was a comfort song of mine for a while and still is. I had a friend in 1st grade and we were close til 3rd. A new kid had been placed in here class and she became friends with them and left me out. There were more new kids after that and she ignored me after that for 2 months. When she started to talk to me again I was put into I didn't want to do. I was told to throw toys over the fence of our school and let cars run it over. It was another friend's toy that she gave me and it hurt inside and made me cry more than I used too. I have grow up with attachment issues now to friends and get jealous when they talk to others. lucky for me I have somebody who understands that now and I've be controlling it well.
Thanks for reading this have a good day/night 💛
I relate to this song so much.
I had this bestfriend that I thought she would stay forever,turns out she used me as a doll.
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.

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.
wow i was most emotionally prepared for how hard this song would hit rn. brb crying lol
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.

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 know you won’t ever read this Alec, but if you do I want you to know that you have been my favorite artist for 3 years now. Your lyrics are so touching, intricate, and overall beautiful. You seem to be a very down to earth person and you are so talented that it cannot be expressed in any amount of words. Your voice is so gentle, calming, and genuine! My family get annoyed with me because of how much I talk about you, but I will never stop. I love you Alec and I am incredibly proud of your beautiful progress.
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

*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 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 :((
This guy here proves that even a conversation of a phonecall can be made into a beautiful song that can break your heart💓.
This is exactly what I’ve been thinking about for a few months
this hurts so much. i know that no matter what happens we’re never gonna be as close as we used to be
This actually made me cry because it related to me so much. I lost my best friend during this stupid lockdown and now it's like we're strangers 😭😭😭
Same...Totally same... I feel you😔💙
Your so called best friend deserves a punch
Saw my old friends today for the first time in 3 months, it felt like meeting new people, theyve changed so much, theyve forgotten me already
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.
i found this song before i got replaced and now that i’m listening again after, it hits on a whole new level
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?
"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.
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 missed listening to Alec..i used to listen to him 24/7 when i was a young teen..well now im almost a young adult..how fast times fly is scary..my life is better now and Alec was there for the hard times..my taste in music changed ALOT now i listen to mitski,tyler,lana,odetari,and more..my playlist used to only be Alec and Anson sabrea(i think thats his name im not sure)
my best friend replaced me in fifth grade
it hurt so much
His songs are so relatable! He is a truly amazing artist! Thank you for making this lyric video! 💜
Imagine that your friend wrote this song and posted it on youtube, and then that you fall on it and see it
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..
Idec anymore that this song reminds me of me and my friend's fight... his voice is soothing
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.
It hurts the most when you introduce two of your best friends, and they become closer than you were with them, and eventually become toxic towards you. Im crying just typing this..
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
My friend just said one day that she felt there was a gap between us, I asked her if I had done something wrong, and what hurts the most is that even when she says I've done nothing wrong I have to pretend I am not excited to see her anymore and be distant.
this is happening to me now. I have a best friend and I saw her all the time when she was single. but now she's got a boyfriend, and I haven't seen her in months. So this song hit me right in the heart.
