I swear every single song she puts out would fit perfectly into a movie.

I can’t believe this song all started from a tiktok comment telling her to make a song about being the the forgotten one

“inside jokes that i never know but i still laugh until i cry.” i hate it when you laugh and they just say ‘it’s an inside joke, you wouldn’t get it.’

“The sidewalk was made for two, not three” I practically live out this quote. I go on walks with my two “friends” and I always let them go ahead of me. Half the time I just end up turning around and going back home. I never even get a text asking when I left or where I went.

“Sometimes I would rather stay home then go an be ignored and alone” that line hit hard

finallyyyyy our prayers have been answered

When you realise that you actually never had any friends but just good acquaintances... You could not be there and not make any difference to them.

The dislikes are from the first chosen people who don’t understand this song.

"I've been chosen last" hits so hard to me, even if I'm not a choice.

To all those who have commented: thank you for reminding me that I was not the only one who felt like this growing up. We need to start a secret club: the un-chosen ones” Sara Keys: thank you for bringing us outcasts, loners, and weirdos together!

"Why are you always alone?" I don't get close to people, they ignore me, bully me and leave me. I only need my stories

I don't know how she does it but every song makes me feel something. She can describe everything so perfectly. Its crazy how she expresses so much emotion through the songs.

*when you're part of a friend group, but you're the one no one really talks to

This is not a song, it is a feeling

i love how this song has everyone sharing their stories. its like we're all the same and we can comfort each other with bad experiences. 🥺❤

The people who dislike this are the people who don’t understand cause their one of the main friends

"Wait a sec, I need to tie my shoe" *keeps walking and never looks back*

I'm the friend that waits for you. The friend that talks to you in class when you're sitting away from your friends. The friend who'll lend you anything when you need it. The friend that gets talked over. The friend that never gets told anything. The friend that's not really a friend. The friend that you picked up because you felt sorry for them. And the friend that you're the quickest to forget.

I decided to show this song to my 11 year old sister because she is having troubles with her friends. She literally told me, "I am always chosen last." When it got to, "Pack up before I'm ready to go." She started crying. I felt so bad 😭😭

Anyone who disliked is the main friend who doesn’t understand what we talking about

Has anyone else lived this life? :( Yeah I did once for a few months but I found real friends , just wait.

this song represents all my school years. thanks school for all the horrible moments ive experienced

Sara, if you ever read this, I just want you to know that you have a beautiful voice, and your music is just amazing. I love this song because I relate to every word. Thank you for making good music that purifies my melancholy soul. ;)

To all the people who live this song, I’m sorry. I’m sorry that we have to live in a society where people are like that. Every child is a special gift from heaven, and people choose to treat others like they don’t matter and it hurts. I know your pain, you will find yourself. Work on yourself, other people won’t effect you in the future. (Edit: thank you all for the likes, wow!)

i feel like this girl and conan gray "the one who made heather" should be friends

this describes literally me. ask my classmates if they had seen me, i'm sure they'll answer "we have a classmate named..?" i'm an introvert, ya'll know. it's hard being the type of person who only has 2 friends, i'm too shy to even make new ones, because i'm afraid that they'll judge me. idk where i got this mindset but yeah

I’m normally left out, along with this other girl in my class that has recently become friends with me. We now do everything together because it’s easier to have one friend that does EVERYTHING with you than it is to be in a friend group that doesn’t pay attention to you or your one friend

Everyone who disliked this couldn’t see the like button because of the tears in their eyes 🥰🥰

I’m that one “friend” who takes the group photo

To all those who have gone through this before. Help that lonely kid in the school, or the silent colleague of yours, or that shy neighbour of yours, so he/she doesnt go through what you did. I know it hurts, but try to avenge those tears you shed alone through kindness

"what are you guys talking about again?" "oh it's an inside joke." i don't remember the group chat is active..

Since everyone is venting on here, I thought I would too because I never told anyone this. I dance and I've been friends with five other girls ever since I was 3 and I never felt left out. And then as we got older, new people sort of came into the group and I wasn't close with them because I'm the only one that doesn't go to their school. That made me stop talking when we would hangout. And now it feels like I'm not even close to the original five friends but they are close to each other if that makes any sense. Anyways, I still get invited to parties and stuff but I just listen and when I do say something, no one hears it or they just ignore me. But I don't think they know I feel this way. It just sucks because I will never be as close to them as they are with each other. I don't remember getting quiet, but now it feels like I can't escape it. I'm crying ahh. Thanks if you read this I love you if you did ❤

If you understand this, this means it has happened to you or is still happening to you. If you don't understand this song maybe read the lyrics and you will understand how all of us feel. Well if you are still reading this I want you to know even though you were chosen last too, you're not by yourself there are a lot more people who have been chosen last like me. SO all I want to say is that your life is amazing in the future because God told me to tell you cause he saw you at your lowest.❤️

this comment is probably going to get lost in the sea of comments but that what I like about it. this song makes me realise just how lonely I am but at the same time it comforts me and I don’t feel so alone.

I relate in my friend groups for sure. BUT one time my brother and I went on a Youth retreat, and it was a special day, they were doing a mandatory mini road trip via bus. I went to the bathroom for a minute and when I came out and everyone was gone. They completely left me behind. My brother didn't even notice I was gone. That was so painful... I know I’m quiet, but geez.

She legitimately puts a life into her music where is this girls clout at?

Do a flip off the swings

" i dont speak my mind i just sit and listen" i relate to that line so much

Can I just vent for a second? I first heard this song a couple weeks ago, randomly on my Amazon Alexa, and I really liked it. The first time I listen to it, I immediately thought of Lilo from Lilo and stitch, as I think this song perfectly describes her always being left out because people think she’s ‘Weird’ and some other of my favourite comfort characters. But then I really thought about it, and when the realisation hit me like a truck I broke down. I relate to this song so much it only took me like three weeks to realise it lol. But, I’ve been chosen last since I can remember. I always had to ask the teacher if there was a job for me to do, because unlike most of my friends, my disability that I have causes my hands to not work as well as theirs, as well as my legs I can’t walk like them. So, while my friends got to do all the fun jobs, I just got to be ‘supervisor’ which means I would sit around and just watch while all my friends had the fun…. From then on, I rarely asked to be a part of any projects. Because I knew I would always get chosen last… I missed out on so much in my 12 years of school because of my disability and the lack of inclusion (not on the school’s part though) my school did an excellent job of including me as much as they could, and I’m very grateful for that. But now, I’m in my first year of college and it’s just the same again… Nearly forgotten, like I don’t exist, like I’ve faded into the back of the class, like I don’t even matter anymore. But they don’t understand. They just think I’m being dramatic or over exaggerating. There were some days that I didn’t want to go to school because I would just be ignored. Even though I am a really sociable person, I would wheel up in my wheelchair and ask people if they wanted to play, but they never did. And the people that did, probably did it out of pity because they saw how lonely I was. Even in college now, I still feel lonely… Despite how many friends I’ve made…. I just wish I wasn’t lonely… Thank you for letting me vent. I’ll go now.

I'd always listen to the tiktok version of this song before this was released... it's so relatable and I may or may not have cried listening. .....so relatable and it makes me sad. This song does let me feel I'm better myself as it makes me know that I'm not the only one... thank you...{Edit: I'm so happy now I can finally listen to this song on my spotify at school} Edit: So I've been playing this song with my earphones for 2 weeks straight at home, at school and it's been amazing to be able to hear the full version and btw I didnt expect the likes, thanks tho.. Edit: Woke up everyday to this song as my alarm. My day gets started fresh and it's been amazing with this song around me all the time.

I can’t be the only one crying while listening despite the soft joyful beat of the somg...

I was never chosen last but this song helps me to remember the people who are, and to include them.

I actually planned something with my 'friends' recently and they all told me they were busy. My parents finally allowed me to go out, so I went on a walk and I saw my friends on that day. Doing what I planned, but without me :) it's okay, ig i'm used to it

Her fake friends now: 👁️👄👁️

I can't wait til she blows up and I can be that annoying person saying "I wAS HeRE BeFoRe sHE bLeW uP"

My birthday was about a week ago, three people sent me birthday wishes. Those three care about me. The people who call themselves my friends then say nothing to me about my birthday and my life are not friends. I know that now. Just cause you have known someone for 5 or 6 years that doesn't mean anything, if they don't care ❤

“Fast walk to the lunch table, and pack up before im ready to go” couldn’t relate more. This happened to me today. I always have to eat my food fast and get READY bc they randomly walk away from the lunch table. If im too slow, like today unfortunately, I get left and they don’t even know. I rush to get all my stuff in my backpack and take my lunch pale so I don’t get left behind.

All the people who disliked this song, are crazy. They obviously don't know what talent is.

Ok someone tell me how ALL HER DAMN SONGS ARE SO GOOD AND RELATABLE

To all the people who relate to this song, just sharing an itty bitty life story. I used to be this person, never talked my mind, was always ignored and felt alone even though I was very much present in the group. There were and still are till this day inside group jokes I ain't part of, there's memories I do remember with them and everyone just looks at each other wondering was she even there? Even tho I was 🥲 but once I grew out of my teenage, went to college and met new people I literally found my voice. I forced people to shut up and listen to me when I talked in class,(defending opinion in a literature/politics lesson) if my voice was too low or unclear I made it a point to work on my diction and volume a bit atleast for larger group settings. When walking in a group sure sometimes I still walk alone but other times I go pull someone behind to walk with me, in the process getting to know them. I just realized all my life when I kept blaming people for never approaching me and asking me (cause I'm too shy to share stuff about myself samne se) it was never their fault, they're not superhuman to know whats going on inside my head, I just needed to take that 2 steps towards them and they'd walk the remaining 2 towards me, that's all. I now openly speak my mind when I have something to share, other times I'm still silent but I feel like I am very much a part of the discussion. Anyone who relates to this and is a bit apprehensive about taking that first step, I'd say don't think about it just go for it. I'm not saying you won't fail a few times, I distinctly remember a few people who have made fun of umm my random manner of talking about stuff out of the blue, I took a lesson from it ofcourse but that person still thinks I'm a weirdo. That's the thing, not everyone's gonna like you, find about 10 people who sorta like you and then 3 who love you, you'll be sorted for life!

I’ve been writing songs about my childhood experiences with toxic friendships, insecurities and my struggles with being an introvert. It’s really freeing to write about something I never got to share at the moment.Thanks for inspiring me.

The people that disliked are the popular people who have never felt this 😔😔

"Inside jokes that I never know but I still laugh until I cry" this hits different when you can totally relate :) I wish they could actually understand how we feel when they treat us like that.

I honestly don't think I've ever related to a song this much. Growing up, I always thought I was the only one dealing with this/ feeling like this. I'm so glad I found this song, but I wish had this song to listen to when I was younger

This just hits home so hard … Not even my teachers notice when I’m missing in class. Some people who’d been in my class still wouldn’t know my name after a year. I wonder actually what it is about me that it’s like that everywhere I go. Even if no one knows me there, I’ll still get to be chosen last or ignored even. There’s gotta be something wrong with me, not them.

Okayy but I’m gonna need that one song “I’m okay though”

"always at the birthday parties but never close to anybody" This moment when you are ignored on your own birthday party

I remember first finding this song around 3 years ago(probably a few months after this video came out) and instantly loving it. I must have listened to it every day for a couple of months, and everytime i just found another thing i could relate to. But for some reason i eventually forgot about it and moved on to other music. I couldnt remember the name for the life of me, but i just finally found it again today and i could not be more grateful, because i think i relate to it more than ever now. Not to vent, but i just always feel like no one would really care if I disappeared one day. Im the one who comforts people when theyre at their worst, but as soon as they get up to their best, they abandon me. I constantly feel alone around my irl friends, and the only people i can really confide in are multiple hours away from me. I think this song perfectly encapsulates my feelings most of the time. So Sara if you ever see this your voice is beautiful and thank you for this song, it means a lot to me. And for everyone going through something similar, i wish you all the best. May you eventually find someone who cares about you just as much as you care about them :)

I have been there and this is why I learned to be alone not needing anyone in my life but myself yeah sound selfish right but they made me do it...

The dislikes are all the people who made others feel this way🤷🏻‍♀️

When your in the group but not *in* the group and take group photos and just laugh at their jokes but you put up with it because would rather be in a group that doesn’t care about and you just don’t want to be alone if that makes sense

A moment of silence 😌 for those who couldn't find this song 😊.

*Her VOiCE is so soothing* 😭👌 .... *I can hear her all day*

Song: i'm at the birthday parties, but never close to anybody Me: doesin't even get invited Edit: thanks so much hor the thougth and nice people responding my comment ily❤️❤️and I feel sorry for the people who dont get invited either... Here you go: an invite to my birthday party! Here's sum cake 🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂and chocolate 🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫btw everyone is invited :)

This hits one time my "friends" took a picture I wasn't even trying to be in it and then one of them said "hey can u move out of the way it's gonna be my wallpaper I don't want u in it" :(

The part where it says "I've been chosen last, since kindergarten". That one hits me in my heart. It actually happened to me ever since kindergarten, I know I'm different and I know that people tend to choose to not get involve with me but it hurts knowing that everyone have someone to be chosen but me. Now I'm in college the situation remains the same no matter what or how I try to change in myself. I like this song because I can relate to the feeling of always being left out by everyone on most of everything that surrounds me. I hope whoever saw this comment will feel much better. Don't forget that you aren't alone and that everyone who listens to this song relates to what you are feeling, we are all brothers and sisters no matter the blood, status and issues we have. We are on this world together. I hope that someday you can find someone who wholly loves and understands you to be able to walk beside them and not feeling left out.

Wishing for everyone here to one day be someone's first choice You know what we don't even have to wait let's be our own first choice You'll always have yourself

Ive never related to a song so much.. listening to it just makes me realise how much my "friends" arent even my friends, its like a game that i dont want to play.. changing groups everyday just to find people who actually care abt me. Yet i never seem to find them, everyone leaves me eventually, its always me being left out of groupchats or parties or any sort of gathering, the only time people come to me to play out or anything of the sort, is when none of the other people wanna hang out.. im just a second thought to people, so.. thats my life. I havent told anyone about this really because.. well... no one cares, i mean i have told someone in the past, i told her how i felt left out and she laughed at me and said "Get over it, its not our problem." So i guess i dont like being shut down when im trying to fix things. I cant remember the last time i was genuinelh happy with a group of friends.. i guess i never had friends.. 😕👌🏻

This is the reason I always wait when someone's tying their shoes while everyone moves ahead. I know what it feels like to have one leg sort of limping because the grass is lower than the sidewalk. I'm always forgotten, and that's why I know when people feel left out. I make them feel welcome because I care(although they don't care about me). (edit) Wow I totally forgot about this comment. Looking back on it, this was a really low point in my life. I'm so much better now. For anyone who sees this, you'll meet someone who values you and loves you. Someone who supports you and pushes you to be the best version of yourself. Someone you can be your authentic self around. I met that person. And then I met myself. I got to know myself and eventually I changed. I grew. I started seeing in color again. Keep going, dont give up, and don't give your heart or your time to someone who hurts you. Even if they "don't mean it." Don't settle for them. You deserve the best for yourself. Learn to love yourself. Even if it sounds corny, its the root of all confidence and healthy love. So wear what you want, do what you want, and keep your head up high. You can do it.

This song is made for me.

hello there anyone who reads this 👋 I just wanna tell u I know how proud I am of u for being who you are, you're really great, I promise. I hope u know that God chose u first even if no one else does. Hang in there beautiful peoples, it's gonna get better ❤️

I used to be “the weird girl” for 2 years I had no friends,but 4 years later i have a whole supportive friend group it gets better I promise

this song has that feeling when you look at your friend for an assigned project and they have the AUDACITY to look at someone else for partners..

An unpopular opinion: This song>>>driver’s license

This song has had a deep place in my heart for so long. Something I related to so heavily. But upon listening to it again recently, I don’t feel such a way anymore. The pain I’ve been through and the feeling I know all to well are there in memory only. I’ve let more people into my heart but they have since decided to make a home there, making the best friendships I’ve ever had. They accept all of me and they all love me. I get told that I’m the life of the friend group and things are so different without me there. I still can’t believe it at times. It feels surreal and how fast the time goes by when I’m with all of them. I guess I just wanted to comment this because I am healing.

"I've been chosen last" never related more 😔💔

Inside jokes that I never know but I Still laugh until I cry Felt that Edit: thanks for the likes guys, makes me feel a lil better :):

"im there on time, cus they wont know im missing." wow :D

The worst feeling is when you're friend group constantly tells you how much they "love" you, how you never got out with them (but they do things they know I won't be able to do or on days I can't), and how you're too good for them, but then never keep in touch. At one point, you never trust anyone to actually be a friend, you just expect them to leave, so you leave first.

the words "ride my bike like all of us used to do" speaks to me soo much. I used to ride my bike with my neighbors all the time when I was little. I moved to a really hilly neighborhood when I was 10, and no one here rides bikes because of that. I still do, but I have a large enough driveway that's pretty level. Anyways, especially now that I'm homeschooled this year because of corona, none of my old friends hang out with me anymore cuz they're all in normal school. I was riding my bike earlier tonight just thinking about that. This song really helped, thanks.

People who just listen to the song because it's really cool (which it really is) without thinking of past memories are lucky..

"inside jokes that i never know but i still laugh and cry group photos but Im standing off to the side Im just camera shy always at the birthday parties..... but never close to anybody.." Hits me so much this song brings so much emotion and like i can almost relate this song.. i get bullied im not close to anyone really im only close to family and some friends but i still feel left out sometimes

"im there on time cuz they won't know im missing" thats soo sad

When you play hide and seek and you’re hiding and the seeker find everyone and forgets about you 🥺😭

The 13 people that disliked are crying by how amazing this song is that they don’t know what button is which

This song feels like a warm and comforting hug to me! Specially rn :)

This hit... deep. For most of my childhood I was abused and one of my ‘friends’ would drag their long fingernails up and down my skin until I bled, as well as bullies and just... let’s just say lots of PTSD. I was a huge pushover, and a loner, with depression and y’know, that whole thing. I was hurt, but with the help of family and wonderful new friends I picked myself up and began to try and heal. I’ve been doing better... but every now and then I still see her beautiful face and I feel my scars... Thank you for this amazing song, it’s truly inspirational and I cannot express enough how much I relate to it. Thanks, And I hope that everyone who is out their struggling will eventually be able to heal. Love you all.

I rather be left out than leaving someone left out

petition for a collab with alec benjamin because they radiate the same energy

How vital. I constantly feel that people are not interested in me. I'm so afraid to be alone forever

i had these two friends, Gwen and Mia. Gwen was my best friend and we were always together, until i let Mia hang out with us one day. Then, Gwen invited her to sit with us at lunch, and I was completely ignored the whole time... then it happened the next day... then for the next month... then two months went by... until they just stopped sitting with me... that's why three's a crowd, and why I always wanna sit in the middle, because I'm not sure I can go through that again.

I relate to this song so much like all of those lyrics are things that I used to think of and I could have written this song because it’s exactly how I felt all primary and high school... but I finally found a group of friends with who I feel included and they’re just the best friends ever and I could never thank them enought for being in my life ✨ It took me 16 years of life to found them, so don’t lose hope it will be your turn soon 🧚🏻‍♀️

I was that friend, the one that would stay with you at lunch, even if the bell rang. The one that would stay with you when you said "Wait! I need to tie my shoe" . The one that would talk to you at parties. The one that would be your partner when no one else wanted to. The one that would lend my jacket because you were cold. The one that would encourage you to join the photo. The one that would come play with you. The on that would listen to you. The one that would explain the inside joke to you. The one that would be there for you. Because that feeling hurts. It really does, feeling like your not welcome, feeling like no one wants you there. Feeling left out. Kindness gets you so far in the world, please be nice. You saying someone is pretty could save their life.

"Sometimes I would rather stay home than show up to be ignore and alone " I can related 😭

I wanna cry right now, never any song cant be that close to me

Have you ever felt like you only needed by someone when they has no one around and the way they treated you different than it used to be

People who sang along to the chorus | | \/ This song is just amazing.all your songs are.i hope you never stop making music❤

She sang everything I’ve ever felt. And it’s not bad. I love this!

this song feels so wholesome and just warm and comforting, like sunlight on ur skin. but the lyrics are also just a bit sad yet comfortingly relatable in a way..

What hurts is that they will say “I love and care about you” but actions speak louder than words
