"Pick Up The Phone"
I’m scrolling through pictures
And, oh God, I miss her
That girl that I used to be
She filled rooms with light
And looked forward to life
‘Til the pain got the best of me
The stains in my shirt
And lack of self worth
And the mold inside a coffee cup
Haven’t brushed my hair
Chronically self aware
I’m the only one who thinks I’m a fuck up
I know I should just pick up the phone
And tell my brother that I feel alone
Therapy, I really oughta go this time
But serotonine’s fuckin’ with my head
She’s making it so hard to leave my bed
It’s crazy that I know what would be best
And still don’t wanna get better
Better x3
I don’t want
To get better
Better x3
I don’t want
My career and my dog
And the best fuckin’ mom
All the people who sing my songs
Catie and Sophie
My girlfriend who knows me
I still don’t think I’m deserving
To be loved when I’m the one who’s hurting
I know I should just pick up the phone
And tell my brother that I feel alone
And therapy, I really oughta go this time
But serotonine’s fuckin’ with my head
She’s making it so hard to leave my bed
It’s crazy that I know what would be best
And still don’t wanna get better
Better x3
I don’t want
To get better
Better x3
I don’t want
To get better
Better x3
I don’t want
To get better
Better x3
I don’t want
I know I should just pick up the phone

Not many people get it. Having struggled with depression, SH, and a raging ED for 11 years…of course I hate it. It’s absolutely miserable. But it’s also a comfort because it’s all I’ve ever known. And while I fantasize over the thought of getting better and living a normal life…it’s also terrifying and something I can’t even fathom. Thank you, Maddie for putting this into words, something I’ve struggled to do for years. You make me feel less alone.

[@popotopupu]

Holy crap you described my situation perfectly! I myself have several sources of outside help now, both professional and loved ones.. but it took over 10 years and falling in deeper and deeper to my problems to seek help with more open heart. It's very much an uphill battle from here, but baby steps. I'm happy but also so sorry to hear you suffer with same things. There is comfort in knowing that I'm not alone in feeling a bit lost and "messed up". Sending love and strength to you and anyone else reading ❤

[@tiaandupreez]

We picked up our phones to watch this video 👌😬🎶🙂♥️

[@theherits]

Ive watched her from the beginning her music motivates me starting from fat funny friend to this latest one💙i wish her all the best

[@I_am_Lauren]

This song is for my 20 year old self, severely depressed in college, with so many good things around me but I'm on the hampster wheel of depression and can't make it stop.

[@meooooowerz]

this is me right now : )

[@paytonmercer2091]

The way she looks away from the camera, and when she does it speaks volumes in my view. She wants to get better but doesn't know how to, and it's Soo. Much. Effort. Well done, amazing video

[@bookwildcollective]

This is so beautiful and raw and true. It's so hard to do the things that could help when you're stuck in depression and shame. I love that you shared how conflicting it feels.

[@roldham90]

Had the privilege of seeing Maddie tonight, I cried soooooo hard.

[@user-er7vy4wc5v]

the raw emotion. you always know how to capture the feelings. thank you for this song maddie

[@FootlessJo]

Another beautiful song, thank you 💜💜💜

[@natascha_mephisto]

my therapist tells me this all the time but I just cant, I love this song. Now I have something to comfort me when I dont allow myself to reach out, thank you ♥

[@Junebug6639]

I saw you live a few months ago, and it was honestly the best day of my life. I love your music so much, it's so powerful. It's so healing after everything I've been through. I relate to this so much.

[@XoXbeachbabeOxO]

This broke me. One of the most beautiful and powerful songs I’ve ever heard. Thank you.

[@katherineksweet]

Maddie sings my inner dialogue and it's so therapeutic and beautiful and all the things I can't put into words.

[@senuriamarasinghe5918]

I've been depressed for quite a while now. But I'm doing a lot better than i used to. I would berate myself about not having the courage to get up and work and study. My family used to tell me that I always tried to drag myself down and I told myself the same. But this song helped me realize that it's okay. That it gets better...because I'm not alone. And as long as I try even if its just smtg small its worth it... Thank uu maddie❤❤

[@alicat8198]

this is going to emotionally destroy me and i cannot wait to see it

[@dawnlowe9524]

You are a lyrical genius ❤❤😊😊

[@michaelv7956]

The worst part is when you tell your fam how you feeling and they take it as it is nothing. This feeling been fcking with my head since I was 12, been evicted, living alone since I was 16, no support thru high school and I still wanted to believe in family but yeah, 28 now and don't believe it gets better.

[@bobsternvogel5550]

Such an emotional gut punch of a song, Maddie!

[@sagecobb80]

OMG Maddie! You never cease to amaze me. Keep doing what you're doing!

[@caseymorgan8241]

Wow! This song is so accurate of how I am for the past 7 years! My dad died and then my mom died and I haven’t been the same since. They were the ones who cheered me on and supported me through my life especially being a lesbian! It’s so beautiful to be able to listen to you sing to my heart from your heart! ❤🎉😊
