Maid of Honor
Lost Bonds: Haley Joelle's Poignant Reflection on Friendship's Unraveling
Lyrics
I knew that we'd grow up
I anticipated that we would mature together
Didn't know we'd grow apart
I didn't expect that we would drift apart
Why does looking at our pictures now
Why is it difficult to look at our past pictures now?
Have to be this hard?
Reflecting on memories has become emotionally challenging
The heart key chain on my bag
A heart-shaped key chain on my bag symbolizing a connection
You still have the other half
You still possess the other half of the key chain
And those jokes you told
Recalling humorous jokes from when we were 16
16 years old
We shared laughter and memories at that age
They all still make me laugh
Despite the passage of time, those jokes still bring joy
And you didn't try to say goodbye
You didn't make an effort to say farewell
That's why this hurts so bad
That's why the pain of separation is intense
They tell you how to break up with a boy
Guidance on ending a romantic relationship is available
But not a friend
However, advice on ending a friendship is lacking
What happens when what gets you through the heart break
Coping mechanisms that helped during heartbreak are ending
Is what's coming to an end?
What used to be a source of comfort is now concluding
You only live a state away
You live in a different state, not too far away
And God knows, I know people change
Acknowledging that people change, as I have witnessed
But lately I've been feeling like I lost her
Recently, I feel like I've lost the person you used to be
What happened to my maid of honor?
Expressing a sense of loss for the friend who was the maid of honor
The last time I went home
The last time I visited home
Yeah that's when I was sure
That visit confirmed the change in our relationship
Don't know what it was
Unable to identify the cause of change
But it sure wasn't
Whatever it was, it certainly wasn't the same
What it was before
Nostalgia for what our friendship used to be
And I hate how much I miss you
Expressing dislike for how much I miss you
Hated seeing you cry
Disheartened by witnessing you in tears
No more staying up and wondering what
No more pondering about our shared future
Our futures will look like
The anticipation of what lies ahead is no longer shared
No more talking about what you'll wear
No more discussions about your attire on my wedding day
The day I'm dressed in white
The dreams of our futures together have dissipated
They tell you how to break up with a boy
Advice on ending a romantic relationship is available
But not a friend
However, guidance on ending a friendship is lacking
What happens when what gets you through the heart break
Coping mechanisms that helped during heartbreak are ending
Is what's coming to an end?
What used to be a source of comfort is now concluding
You only live a state away
You live in a different state, not too far away
And God knows, I know people change
Acknowledging that people change, as I have witnessed
But lately I've been feeling like I lost her
Recently, I feel like I've lost the person you used to be
What happened to my maid of honor?
Expressing a sense of loss for the friend who was the maid of honor
Mm
Reflection or contemplation
Mm
-Mm
-You were all of my good old days
You represented all the joyful moments of the past
And God knows, I know people change
Acknowledging that people change, as I have witnessed
But lately I've been feeling like I lost her
Recently, I feel like I've lost the person you used to be
I want her
Expressing a desire for the friend who was the maid of honor
Oh what happened to my maid of honor?
Questioning the transformation of the friend into someone unfamiliar
