This song is about losing your best friend while you thought they were going to be on your wedding.
Lauren says: “How did we go from being best friends to absolutely nothing and not talking”
[Verse 1]
We'd stay awake for hours, picking out the kinds of flowers
I'd have in my bouquet, said you'd catch it on the day
You're in the family picture, you felt like my older sister
The one I never had, yeah, we got along like that
[Pre-Chorus]
You were the first one that I'd choose
You were the last one that I'd wanna lose
[Chorus]
I thought you'd be my bridesmaid
It's funny how our lives changed
Tell me, what was it for?
When you said you'd be my best friend
You'd love me till the world ends
And now I finally found the man that I adore
But you won't be my bridesmaid anymore
[Post-Chorus]
Ah-ah
Ah-ah
[Verse 2]
I miss when we were younger, laughing through the heat of summer
Long talks in your backseat, sharing secrets I still keep
Been so long that I forgot all the reasons that we fought
I'm stuck with my regrets, staring at your empty dress
[Chorus]
I thought you'd be my bridesmaid
It's funny how our lives changed
Tell me, what was it for?
When you said you'd be my best friend
You'd love me till the world ends
And now I finally found the man that I adore
But you won't be my bridesmaid anymore
[Bridge]
Who's gonna fix my hair and wipe the tears away?
Who's gonna hold my hand and tell me it's okay? (Ah-ah)
Who's gonna stay behind me, when I say "I do"? (Ah-ah)
Oh, it'll be someone, but not you
[Chorus]
And I thought you'd be my bridesmaid
It's funny how our lives changed
Tell me, what was it for?
When you said you'd be my best friend
You'd love me till the world ends
Now I finally found the man that I adore
But you won't be my bridesmaid anymore

Your best friend and thinking they were gonna be at your wedding. How did we go from being best friends to like absolutely nothing and not talking. And I thought you were gonna be there standing behind me when I married my boyfriend. Everything’s fine because I have him, but still sad and confusing....
