Lyrics:
Well I guess I’m that friend
The one walking three steps behind cause’ the sidewalk’s not wide enough and my friends talk on by
Never included in the conversation
I’m the king of my plane of existence
I guess I’m a ghost
Alone and my friends and I aren’t close cause’ they think I’m a burden so I don’t let my feelings show
They forgot when it was my birthday
At least the tears in my cake were gourmet
I’m tired of being last pick
Treated like a side chick
A background character for all of my life
Well I guess I’m that friend and my friends just pretend that I’m somebody that they like
I guess I’m that friend
The one that hangs with the group that ain’t close enough to anyone to have someone to talk to
I got friends but I’m still lonely
If we played the quiet game I’d win all the trophies
I guess I just exist
I’m not missed no one seems to even notice that I’m listening I got feelings and I ain’t very outspoken
They forgot to invite me to the party
Got a text like “we forgot you we’re sorry!”
I’m tired of being last pick
Treated like a side chick
A background character for all of my life
Well I guess I’m that friend and my friends just pretend that I’m somebody that they like
Don’t wanna be your door mat
Not someone you can step on
Just hear me out before I leave
Don’t wanna be invisible
This friendship is so miserable
I’m someone you don’t want or need
I’m tired of being last pick
Treated like a side chick
A background character for all of my life
Well I guess I’m that friend and my friends just pretend that I’m somebody that they like - Hudba
who is disliking my videos 😭 it hasn’t even released yet HAHA

He deserves more
True words spoken
FRRRRR
How... how did it take me this long to realize I'd never heard a song that accurately depicts my friendship relationships like this one does? I became emotionally distant and ended up isolating myself from people because I was 'that friend'. It's a real tough place to be in, and once those walls are up, it can take a hell of a lot to bring them back down. I now have four people I would (mostly) solidly call a 'friend', but I still have fears over friendships. I worry that I'm not saying enough, or saying too much. Worry that I'll say the wrong thing, push them away, or that if I don't reply, they'll leave me behind but, the thing is; they're the same. They, I think, were also 'that friend' and somehow, someway, we found each other, and I'm so fucking grateful for that.
So, I guess, what I'm trying to say is, if you are 'that friend', don't lose hope. There is nothing wrong with you, and it's okay if you leave behind the people who would leave you, because one day, you'll find your tribe, and they'll get it, and they'll stay.
I don’t want to say much but me too. Exactly what I was thinking..
Thank you, I needed to hear that
@@user-fo5ej2tg5k so did I
I really needed to hear this. I realised the other day that I have always felt left out of my current friend group. And then I realised the people that don't make me feel like that are the people that have felt the same way at some point in their own lives. I think being 'that friend' makes you a better friend in a lot of ways, and I think it's time that I stop spending so much energy on the people who leave me behind and spend it on the people who have my back.
I started realizing this midway into the pandemic, it was really tough to grasp at first but after coming to terms with it, it made me realize it’s okay to drift away, bcus after all, the true friends are the ones that will stick with you regardless, they don’t make you feel lonely or feel bad that you may be intruding on a hangout or whatever. I recently found out one of my other friends had also been experiencing this, we used to be in a group of 4, but after college I drifted away, they stopped inviting me, and it kinda hurt. That one friend tho, they said that even tho they hung out with the other two they still felt left out, and felt invalidated, and that was the moment I realized I wasn’t alone. I even hung out with these 2 other said friends recently and it just confirmed how invalidated and lonely I felt with them, they never tried to talk to me, only the only other friend besides me and although I have a history with these ppl, I don’t have to force myself to continue suffering if I feel like I’m not wanted.
So anyway tldr: those that truly care for you and make you happy are the ones that will reveal themselves to you eventually, and it is okay to let go of certain relationships bcus you aren’t obligated to continue them if you don’t want to :)
I love how he's singing about being a side character while being a main character 😭❤️
😂 frl
Frrr 😢
I love his tunes. I love that I can hear the lyrics clearly when he sings bc you don’t get that from a lot of singers now. His voice, IMMACULATE. I love the fact that he just does it and makes other people happy. Idk what I’ll do w out your songs😌😌😌

2:20 when you can see him place the wine bottle down he it look liked he was going to catch it because he reach down again.

I'm 14 and I'm going through a really dark place right now..I've done some things im not proud of and I hate myself and the way I feel about certain things and that's really not helpful because there's a lot of depressing stuff going on. People in these comment sections are so friendly and supportive and I know its stupid to be thanking random strangers on the internet but thank you everyone who spends their time replying, and thank you mad tsai for giving me a space where I can share my feelings without being judged
*gibs hugs* stay strong lil buddy ❤️🙏.
Keep your chin up love :) it's gonna be okay, you're gonna prevail I just know you are
I completely understand. I'm 14 and questioning my gender and sexuality, not to mention losing a couple friends along the way. You got this hun, everything will be alright
Free virtual hugs for a sweetie somewhere in this world 🤗✨
keep your head up :) i completely understand what you mean, im also 14 and have been losing friends as i come out, but i just wanna say that you got this and you'll be alright. virtual hugs xx
I love this song, I walk behind my friends, my friends talk me down, and nobody knows how much it hurts, people think im confident but im really not.
Thank you Mad tsai ❤
It's my first time to hear this song and I can say from my own experience that the lyrics accurately describes my past friendship. I was "that friend" back then, but eventually, I've got tired from living that way so I decided to stay alone. Yeah, I isolated myself because that's when I realized that it's better to be alone than to be with those people who often make you feel alone.
Indeed, it felt better. It's way more peaceful.
And now I'm contented with my current friends whom I treasure dearly even though we barely communicate because of being busy in our personal lives.
So here's my piece of what I have learned:
Never settle for less. It isn't selfish for wanting to feel valued. Just be true to yourself, because you attract what you project and not what you just want.
If you are "that friend", please choose your support system wisely. Don't be afraid to be alone if that means staying away from fake ones. You are too precious. You deserve to be with the genuine ones. ☺️

thank you
I have resently listen this song and its 100% about my life 😭
I felt exactly the same. Sending you a big warm hug ❤️
I don't have friends I just exist next to em
Whyyyyyyyyy doesn't this man have 2 million subs??????????? 😩❤️
20million should be at least
@@dygiilyiahspjdos ya right
We all know your vocals are a direct blessing from heaven but your acting is chef kiss! I really really am touched by this song. Though the song has been out for like 2 months but didn't knew I need this video till I watch it. It's perfect
It wasn't necessarily acting because it's based on him being the invisible one in his friend group
What they mean is that he had to act IN the music video.
I hope I understood that right:)
This is really the most accurate song I've ever listened to. Yesterday was my b-day and a lot of people forgot it.... anyway, with this song, I feel like I'm not the only one that feel that ! Thank you so much for releasing this ❤
I relate to you dude..
@star \\ Ty 🥰
I feel you- today is my birthday and almost everyone forgot it, your not alone my dude ❤️
@@cyrillavanilla Happy Birthday 🥺💪
Same, no one except my parents and online friend remembered. Made me sad but who cares. I don't.
I relate to this song so much. This is like my whole life story in 3 minutes.
I NEED IT RIGHT NOW WHY DOES IT HAVE TO PREMIER WHEN IM AT SCHOOL 😩❤️
IKR
IKR LIKE IM GOING TO MISS IT
Fr tho
IKKRRRRR 😭😭😭
Yes
it kinda hurts when u can relate to mad tsai’s songs…
It hits so hard when you are that friend.
Bro i just saw a reel with this song and immediately jumped here for the full version. I'm about to cry, trying to hold the tears in rn. All I'd say is that this is the *best* song that can describe my social life. I sometimes feel so overwhelmed thinking about all this, and want to share it with someone. But i realise, that I have no one. I do have an online friend who's very nice to me, but i don't want to be a burden on the only person I talk with by crying in front of them. I just write it all in my diary, pretending I'm writing a letter to my future self. And i read my old diary entries, pretending I'm reading a letter from my past self, explaining her situation to me
I feel you. Sending you a big warm hug ❤️
@@Evan-4579 thanks! I wish you have a nice month 💕

I have never relate to any song as much as this !!!!
To all buddies who are LONELY, DON'T HAVE A BESTIE , honey we dont need anyone other than ourselves to make us happy😊. Be the MAIN CHARACTER and LOVE n EMBRACE YRSLF!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Tysm I needed that. My friends called me a pick me because I wanted to be invited to this friend hang out...
@@Halllad ..You don't need those kind of friends, the ones who call you names for fun and don't realize they're hurting someone.
This song is honestly so catchy and real I am sure alot of us have experienced being "THAT FRIEND" and this song just felt so related to me personally
This song hits too close to home
Such a relatable song this song literally explains how it is at school for me frl 💀💀💀💀😭😭💜
Dude, this is like my life story! I've been overweight my entire life and my "friends" were more classmates than friends. I was excluded and teased "good-naturedly" by them all the time. In fact, at school I spent most of my recess and lunchtime in the library. I didn't have true friends. Thank you for a song that everyone at one time or another can relate to!
THE STORY TELLING??? You're too good at this, YOURE SO UNDERRATED
Why is he so underrated, he really deserves a lot more viewers!!!
edit: holy crap 403 likes???
edit 2: do i really deserve so many likes????!?!?! :o
AMITY PFP SJSBD HI
Thats what me meant he just got the thing word wrong
DATS WUT IM SAYINN
Ikr
FR his music is amazing!
this song is the reason why I’m friends with everyone, no one should ever feel like that
for a long time i was "that friend", i always had a hard time making friends and that's why i couldn't get out of that relationship, that only changed when i left that school, and of course none of them even said goodbye, now i was thinking how lucky i am to have found good friends who care about me and that make my life less miserable
I fell in love with this song when I first heard it all those months ago. I was listening to that clip I came across over and over. I'm so glad it has been able to come this far
when you're listening to this beautiful song while crying on the bathroom floor, you know your life is totally fucked up.
And my friends just pretend that I'm somebody that they like... OH I FEEL THIS LINE SO MUCH!!!
I feel depressed cause I feel so related to the song lol😂🙂
But I can't stop listening it's kinda relaxing and low key nice for me
Instead of being sad I love it cause it describes what I feel and just vibe with it 🙃🙃
Same ;-;-
Same dud :D¡
I love him so much ........suprising that this complete stranger is much more relatable than anyone I know irl
What a great music video -- especially the ending, with the spliced in scenes of him actively joining his friends at the party. One interpretation is that's how he wants to interact with everyone, which makes sense, but I actually took it as that's how he looks from the outside. It's not until he's alone that the loneliness and feeling of not belonging that he has been masking become apparent.
Damn the way that the music became louder than his voice really amplifies the meaning of "a side voice"
This song sums up how I have always felt in my friend group. It's really nice to know other people have experienced this too. Thank you😊
I’ve been so excited for this!!
When I first heard this song, I was 'that friend'. I was going through a really hard and dark place at the time and definitely did not have a good mental health. And as silly as it would sound, this song helped me get through it. I m very happy now that I can say that I got a much healthier mindset and a close friend I can trust. Its still hard sometimes, but at least I have someone. Its only one but its something. So anyone out there, reading this, who relates to me... please dont give up. You might think that you wont make it but you will. Its a huge world and believe it or not, there are people who get you... someone who will stay and help you. And you will eventually meet them even if you think you wont.
I was always That Friend. Sometimes it made me think that may be I'm the problem, may be I don't deserve friends but after years of fighting with my own thoughts I understood that I'm not the problem, but they are. The people that I once called as friends don't deserve me. I gave everything I had. When I call someone as a friend, I mean it. I love and care for them with all my heart. After everything that happened, I was soo scared to make friends. When I entered uni, I thought may be it will be a good start to make true friends but I didn't fit in with the others. Pretended to be someone else just because I was scared to stay alone and feel lonely but I felt exhausted and I gave up everything and I thought of being me. At first, I felt soo lonely but it's soo much better than staying with fake friends. Now I have some online friends who are dear to my heart. I can talk to them at any day, any time and there are no judgements. I can be me when I'm with them. There are days where I spoke like 10 words maximum at uni but I no longer have to fight with my own thoughts. No one deserves to be 'That Friend' ❤️
This perfectly captures my life. Ever heard the saying alone in a crowd, I always felt like a shadow to everyone around me. Noticed, but never truly seen. Thank you for this song, I thought I was weird, I didn't think anyone else knew what it was like.
I suddenly stumbled into this song when I am at my loneliest 😢
Here I am, listening to it again. Crying. Frick at least this song gets me. Thanks for being there song
The relatability of this song hit me like a mack truck
Anwww, it makes my heart so warm to see how his career is growing, I feel like a proud mother
I think what I love about Mad Tsai's music is that you get such a wide variety but songs like this are the reality for so many people including myself. Which is why i started crying at 7am in the morning lmao. Like you can get upbeat and happy songs such as boy bi or you can get more deep and relatable songs like that friend. It's beautiful and keep up the great work :)
If toxic friends were doctors
I'd eat an apple every second
I realized that, I am sometimes 'that friend' but you know what else I also am? The friend of 'that friend'. I always hung out with one girl who was a part of a friend group with me, her, and two other girls (one of them being my bff). My bff and one of her good friends always walked ahead of us and talked with each other. Instead of me going up to them and joining conversations, I always stuck behind with the one girl that was always left behind. We never fought, we were just a wholesome duo.
I'm pretty sure I have some kind of curse where I can't make a proper bestfriend lol. Everytime I was close enough to call someone my bestfriend they either end up hating me or leave me forever. Maybe I just repel ppl away. Even my family hates lmao. Anyway I wanted to say this is to someone who may need it- There's always someone out there for you
It's amazing how I can relate to every quotes of this song... It Hurt, but it's so good to know that we're not alone :)
This song is too relatable for comfort
I’ve been like this since 5th grade this made me cry because I’m still “that friend”🙂
So glad I found him, his music is so touching, soft, smooth and relatable. Even to people who are seen all the time you still feel that loneliness and that no everyone who sees you or even the that some of friends your around actually value you. I see it everyday and sometimes you question if it’s the same that’s going on to you but you’re just blinded or try to be in blissful ignorance to that side of reality. But other than that- amazing song, beautiful clarity and voice and I can’t wait to hear more 😆
It's been a whole day and dis art is still underrated, this is a crime against humanity😩
You are a wonderful artist, I love you, Mad Tsai!
1:12 is so relatable it hurts🥲
Like you have a decent social life, you got friends but you don’t really talk outside of school and..y’know
I really like this song . It's just a masterpiece . keep going mad tsai . looking for your new new music .....................................
How ppl not realize how good his songs and voice are? 😭
most relatable song ive ever heard
The thing about the sidewalk is so real
I don't know why this song always hit me different....I have some goods friends, but whenever I listen to it, I end up crying....It's really very nice song,the lyrics is also very deep 💓💓😭
This young man so talented, his lyrics are so relatable 🧡 i just can’t 😭😭
“don’t wanna be invisible, this friendship is miserable. i’m someone you don’t want or need” hit hard omg
That hit to close to home. Made me cry for the first time in a very long time
Omggg I can’t wait this song is my life
Ahhh im so excited can't wait to see it it totally will be soooo good
Remember kids
A drink a day keeps the pain away
Tomorrow is exam and surely I don't wanna study. listening this relatable song while thinking about how end my exam results, it's makes me feel good🥲
Dear youtube,
Please recommend this awesome gem of an artist to more people.
Thank you.
We forgot u were sorry :(
Just hear me out
This pierced my heart
when the part where you let yourself in the pool, am shivering from the coldness awieeeee qnq its a good song I swear qnq you deserve more views
This song is too relatable for me
This song made me see that the people I’m around are only using me to seem like good people who care for others all I can say is thanks Mad Tsai for showing me that I don’t need others to make me feel loved I need to love myself.
This is just too real for me ... I am doing great now but there was a time when, if I listened to this song I would have cried more then now but this is art in its own authentic way and I love it ... I really connect to this on another level because EVERY LINE is true for me and sad too because when I was going through all this ,I never knew that this is how others precieve me .... I was clueless and let everything happen... If you are going through a hard time know that you will get over it and you are beautiful and you don't need anyone to show you that you are beautiful... And I love you💖
I love the way he just starts the song instead of having like 2 minutes of drama 1st
Feels nice when you're listening to this at 11:45 pm after having seen on Bereal that your two "best friends" that you only saw once this year cause they are both on boarding schools are having fun together again without thinking about you even though you asked a few days ago if they'd like to hang out :)
I have literally never related to a song more in my life. It’s sooooo good
I've fallen down a rabbit hole on CZcams's musician channels and holy shit I've been listening to all your songs and I cannot even fathom how talented you are. Everything you write speaks to my soul and your voice is amazing.
I dont think yall understand how much I would give to have a conversation with him
This song is so realistic I didn't think anyone felt rhe same way every time I hear this I cry
I have never related to a song more in my life thank you
This song is great. Congratulations on another big hit. I will listen to this song over and over. Just losing my eyesight 2 years ago, after graduating high school, most of my friends don't talk to me at all. Most of them move to another state and had kids but, didn't bother to tell me about it. The song gives me some solace.
Always go back to this song to remind me its okay to be lonely sometimes.
I don't like the way how I relate to this so bad but then again I don't wanna beg for somebody's friendship so I just let them go everytime :')
I'm literally in love with him 💕😍
¿Do you think I'm going to wait 43 hours for this masterpiece to be released?
Well, you are indeed right
I am using translator, lol
Add that to the songs that describe me and my life perfectly, almost to the point that it's scary
2 Years and i Still Relate to this...
Even without watching the video, I can already say I'm that friend.
When i’m sad about my friends, i always hear this song, it’s like I'm the character in the lyrics
“ I’m tired of being last pick
Treated like a side chick “
“ I guess i’m that friend
The one who hangs out with the group
But ain’t close enough to anyone to have someone to talk to
I got friends but i’m still lonely “
“Well, I guess I just exist
I'm not missed, no one even seems to notice
That I'm listening, I've got feelings and I ain't very outspoken “
That’s all my feeling right now, feel so lonely. I don’t know how to tell them my feel and i keep it, keep it for myself, i don't know if they understand or not. I can’t let’s my feeling show, i think they will be annoyed. I really need someone to talk together and never left me but how? I hate being the last pick. I have friends, a lot of friends but no one gives me a feeling of trust. I really need a real friends who need me and i also need them
HONESTLY i feel this tho, my whole middle school and half of high school felt like this. i feel it and i hope you've found actual freinds who care about you and what you have to say
me vibing to this song cause im THAT FRIEND
The ending when he jumps into the water and those memories that how he actually want himself to be involved in friends is amazing 💯🙌✨🌈💕🌠🫂
His songs are so calming to me
I just find this great song and I can relate to the lyrics. It's my situation in middle school and college as well. You deserve more attention 💛
This is so just relatable, I can relate so much, I don't even have words, it's really lonely out their, at this point I only have myself to relay on, literally no one else
“They forgot when it was my birthday”
This is so relatable. On my birthday, two of my best friends walked in the classroom and continued on like it was a normal day. It wasn’t until someone said happy birthday as a joke, and I said thank you, that they realized that it was my birthday. I started having a mental breakdown and that sort of sh*t. Only one of my best friends remembered (I have 3), and it kinda just made me feel unimportant🙃😭
I’m so glad he is getting more of the recognition he so very much deserves- his songs hit so hard and are so relatable I truly hope he keeps practicing his craft because his music is such a gift and soooo amazing
This song is a masterpiece! I love it so much. It's just sad that this song, literally describes me and my situation. I have many friends but I don't think they see me as a friend just like how I see them. Whenever I'm with them, I just feel left out.
This song makes me sad but as well as fired up to make a change.
damn I didn't need to be called out like that
Most relatable song ever made.
