[Verse 1]
Four little names on the family wall
But mine was the one they barely called
Last to arrive, too late to shine
Always behind, always out of line
[Pre-Chorus]
You had your stories, you had your place
I had a quiet, invisible space
Mama tried, but she was tired too
So I learned to hide what I never knew
[Chorus]
I was the baby they forgot
Just a name that time forgot
You all moved fast, I stayed small
Screaming silent down the hall
You wore crowns, I wore blame
Never felt like I belonged to the name
I was the one always left out
The baby they forgot about
[Verse 2]
I watched you all from the backseat
Learned to walk where you left your heat
Hand-me-down dreams, broken toys
Echoes louder than any noise
[Pre-Chorus]
You made the rules, I learned to bend
Always the joke, never the friend
Mama said, “They’ll come around”
But even now, you don’t come down
[Chorus]
I was the baby they forgot
Just a name that time forgot
You all moved fast, I stayed small
Screaming silent down the hall
You wore crowns, I wore blame
Never felt like I belonged to the name
I was the one always left out
The baby they forgot about
[Bridge]
And I still carry those quiet days
The empty rooms, the sideways praise
But I built a voice from what they missed
Now I’m more than what I wasn’t kissed
[Final Chorus]
I was the baby they forgot
But now I’m rising from that spot
I hold the truth, I hold the sound
Of every tear that hit the ground
You wore crowns, I wore scars
But I found beauty in the dark
Now I’m the light they talk about
The baby they forgot—
Who found her way out
