you picked them over me

Lyrics

🎶 “YOU PICKED THEM OVER ME” 💔
By: The Cousin You Forgot 😭

🎤 Verse 1 We used to laugh, we used to chill, Now you’re with them, and I’m standing still. I thought we were close, I thought we were tight, But you leave me alone every single night.

I see you laughing, having fun, Guess our memories don’t mean a ton. I’m sitting here like, “What did I do?” I never thought I’d get replaced by you. 💔

🎶 Pre-Chorus I’m your cousin, I thought that meant something, But now I’m watching you choose everybody. I never asked you to leave your friends behind, I just wanted you to make some time.

💔 CHORUS You picked your friends over me, Now I’m crying where nobody sees. I was there before they came around, Now I’m the one you leave out. We share the blood, we share the name, But lately, nothing feels the same. I guess I’m not your number one, You chose them over me… and I’m done. 💔

🎤 Verse 2 Remember when we said we’d never switch? Now I’m the one you suddenly ditch. You say, “It’s not that deep, don’t be mad,” But you don’t know how much it hurts this bad.

I don’t hate your friends, that’s not the issue, I just miss the times when I was close to you. Now I’m just watching from the other side, Smiling in public, breaking inside. 🥀

🎶 BRIDGE (SING THIS SAD 😭) Maybe one day you’ll finally see, How much you really meant to me. And when your friends are nowhere around, Will you remember who was always down?

I never wanted to compete, I just wanted a place in your life to keep. But if your friends are all you need… Then I’ll step back and let you be. 💔

🎵 FINAL CHORUS You picked your friends over me, Now we’re strangers in our own family. I won’t beg you to stay by my side, I’m done pretending that I’m alright. You’ll always be my cousin, that's true, But I can't keep chasing after you. I miss the person you used to be… You picked your friends… instead of me. 😭💔

🎧 Outro (whisper): “It's not that I wanted to be your only friend… I just didn't want to feel like I wasn't your cousin anymore.” 🥺💔
