LYRICS:
I break the ice
So they don't see my size
And I have to be nice
Or I'll be the next punchline
I'm just the best friend in Hollywood movies
Who only exist to continue the story
The girl gets the guy while I'm standing off-screen
So I'll wait for my cue to be comedic relief
Can't be too loud
Can't be too busy
If I don't answer now, are they still gonna need me?
Can't be too proud
Can't think I'm pretty
Do they keep me around, so their flaws just seem silly?
I say I'm okay
'Cause they wouldn't care anyway
And I could try to explain
But my efforts in vain
They can't relate to how I've
Drawn out in Sharpie where I take the scissors
If that's what it took for me to look in the mirror
I've done every diet to make me look thinner
So why do I still feel so goddamn inferior?
Can't be too loud
And can't be too busy
If I don't answer now, are they still gonna need me?
Can't be too proud and
Can't think I'm pretty
Do they keep me around, so their flaws just seem silly?
Life of the fat, funny friend
Life of the fat, funny friend
It's funny when I think a guy likes me
And it's funny when I'm the one who says, "Let's go to eat"
It's funny when I'm asked to go out on Halloween
Dresses and thigh highs, while I hide my body
Can't be too loud
And can't be too busy
If I don't answer now, are they still gonna miss me?
Can't be too loud
And can't be too busy
If I don't answer now, are they still gonna need me?
Can't be too proud and
Can't think I'm pretty
Do they keep me around, so their flaws just seem silly?
Life of the fat, funny friend
Life of the fat, funny friend
Life of the fat, funny friend
Life of the fat, funny friend
I've drawn out in Sharpie where I take the scissors

    "do they keep me around so their flaws just seem silly" that line hit close to the heart
  • @thatsonperiod
    this song hits so unbelievably close to home, thank you maddie for such a beautiful heartfelt piece of art that i will listen to forever, i love you.
  • @DaisyB-yq4rs
    “I’ve drawn out in sharpie where I’d take the scissors” that line hits me so close to home
  • @miriamhmar4900
    As a 16 year old who suffered with body image thia song explain how i feel so much.. People always think i was quiet but truly i was just so insecure to be with them
  • @eilenolsen8657
    As someone who can relate, feeling like this isn't an insecurity, it's pure fear. Fear of never getting your first boyfriend/girlfriend, never getting asked for your snap or number, never having a true friend and fear of society's judgement. Sometimes we suck in our stomachs until it becomes our norm and we do it automatically. It's feeling like you want to die when your friend who's skinnier and "prettier" calls themselves ugly and fat. It's the feeling of never being comfortable the way you are. But i promise, no matter size, you are beautiful as long as you're you.
  • @YardenPeri
    The line "cant be to loud cant be to busy if i dont answer now are they still gonna need me" hit hard. Its an amazing song.
  • @YGaming1011
    The message behind this song can mean a lot of things. Can we all agree this was a well made song?
  • @denisegeee3982
    I’m almost 40 but 15 year old me has never felt more seen than she is right now. Thank you for this song, there are a lot of us who can relate
  • The "can't think I'm pretty" line hits like a train. To this day I feel bad whenever I feel beautiful, I feel like I don't deserve it and I'm not allowed to feel like this since I don't fit the beauty standards
  • @jemhiki
    It hurts so much. I loved people but I couldn't even love who I am. I loved every parts of them but I hated mine. This song summarizes everything and I think I found my theme song. I relate so bad it hurts. Hugs to all of you out there.
  • @cz7660
    As someone who has grown to love their body after years of scrutinizing it. As someone with their father's broad shoulders, and their mama's thick legs. This song is beautiful. "Then why do I feel so GODDAMN INFERIOR?" That hits home for me, because even though I've come to except my body I still feel inferior towards my friends and sometimes I feel like screaming it along with Maddie.
  • @EpicDIZ
    Not just girls/women relate to this song. Today I found myself in tears while listening. Always the fat funny guy and these lyrics hit me right in my feels. Why is the world so mean to us?
  • @erinlilly6753
    "I've done every diet to make me look thinner. So why do I still feel so God Damn Inferior!" That line hit my core like no other. I've been/am the fat friend most of my life. I am very thankful my friends are always there for me and i am equally there for them. But this song still hits hard and reminds me of the time before I met them.❤
  • @sharkyeditssz
    “its funny when im asked to go out on halloween dresses and thigh highs while i hide my body” is so real.
  • My sweet 17yr old daughter was listening to this song and when I walked in I giggled and said “what are you listening too” she looked at me with her eyes full of tears and said “Mom, you’d never understand” later on I watched the video and listened to your lyrics and couldn’t help but break down and cry! I didn’t know she felt the way she did, but I’m going to get her all the help she wants. I think she’s absolutely gorgeous inside and out but it’s not how I feel, it’s how she feels that really matters. As a mother with a teenage daughter, I thank you for making this song. 🫶🏽
  • @pinebeari0705
    “I’ve drawn out in sharpie where I’d take the scissors” makes me cry every damn time I hear this song. It hurts because it’s so relatable
  • @Emani-dh3go
    "Do they keep me around so their flaws just seem silly" hit deep
