LYRICS
You spent ten years with somebody.
Didn’t end up workin’ out
And it still affects you now
I spent ten years crippled by trying to be
Everything everybody else needs.
It still affects me now

And every time we end up face to face
You’re overthinking from the previous day
Fades away
But you’ll still find a way to

Make sure we’re never alone cause It could give me hope
If you stay too long when you’re drivin’ me home
So you call me a friend
Again and again
To try and forget
How we get too drunk and we get too close
Fallin' into each other when we already know
We could try to resist
Keep our distance
Call this what it isn’t
This has more push than it ever had pull
We’re inevitable
We’re inevitable

Dinners turn into talks about our families
And understanding each other deeply
You look out for me and it scares me
And every time I meet someone new face to face
The pieces don’t fit the same
It just makes me hate the way you

Make sure we’re never alone cause It could give me hope
If you stay too long when you’re drivin’ me home
So you call me a friend
Again and again
To try and forget
How we get too drunk and we get too close
Fallin' into each other when we already know
We could try to resist
And keep our distance
Call this what it isn’t
This has more push than it ever had pull
We’re inevitable
We’re inevitable

We both know it's inevitable
This was never in our control
We both know

Make sure we’re never alone cause It could give me hope
If you stay too long when you’re drivin’ me home
So you call me a friend
Again and again
To try and forget
How we get too drunk and we get too close
Fallin' into each other when we already know
We could try to resist
And keep our distance
Call this what it isn’t
This has more push than it ever had pull
Can we both admit it's out of our control
We’re inevitable

it’s not an album, it’s a confession. ❤️

[joanyse]

The feeling of her music is something unexplainable

[Ajax]

You'll probably never see this, but I want you to know how deep your music impacts people. 🥺😭 I remember seeing you talking about making your songs sound like worship music because that was an aspect of the church that you missed. I thought I was alone, people call me weird being an agnostic atheist who still listens to old worship music occasionally but it was always more than just "music" to me. I wholeheartedly felt a connection to that music and its so validating to hear music that sounds that way but talks about things I've experienced... Maddie Zahm this is Peak healing for me 🥺🥰 You are so LOVED!

[mikwrites]

You are the new IT girl in music!! Can't stop listening - it's like everything you sing is straight from my life

[ashleyj]

My inevitable passed away in 2018 and this just hit me on a whole different level. There aren’t words for your talent or your ability to just reach out and grab people right by the heart. Please don’t ever stop.

[brionlyshe]

Maddie, what the heck?! You destroy me! Every dang new release has me sobbing and clutching all the feels in my gut!

[IEverWantMusic]

The whole EP is such a raw, emotional rollercoaster, thanks so much for sharing. This is one of my faves 💕😭✨

[kathrynlarimer]

How can every song have moments of healing for me?!?! This song, though, this whole song is healing me. You are AMAZING!!! YOU HAVE A GIFT.

[joykinser]

The worship song vibes on this are on point. Maddie’s intention in that is so successful.

[maddy__]

Somehow, even though we don’t share the same story - I feel everything I’ve gone through comes alive and it makes me feel seen and my own trauma feel validated. Honestly, it’s like therapy to my soul.

You are so incredibly talented and I’m so glad you have walked the road less travelled because it has given the rest of us who have also walked a hard path a voice and an army. ❤️ I feel proud of myself and my story when listening to you.

You are amazing, Maddie! Thank you for your music. 🙏

[LingLingdesu]

I better not miss this 😭😭 everything about you is amazing

[maxwellgrimsley]

Your voice and the words that emerge from it speak to my very soul. You are a poet, an artist, and a warrior 💕

[tylerreanne]

The amount of times I’ve replayed this. I get goosebumps every time the chorus kicks in! Work of art ❤️

[vultzcleo]

Her songs just had some power in them, I can't stop listening to old ones on repeat and then hoping for more. Later on she'll definitely get recognition!

THOSE BELTS ARE INSANE💚💚💚💚💚💚💛💛💛💛✨✨✨🎵🎵 AND I AM SO SO SO PROUD OF YOU!!

[Borgs]

Hi Maddie maybe this never gets to you. Your music helped me through a difficult phase in my life and today I'm much better, know that your music is perfect and for me they are more than just music. Your songs are feelings . You have fans in Brazil too, including I'm one of them.

[canaandelightmusic]

This song is breaking me😭I love how you capture the story so vividly and I relate. You're probably the only artist who has all her songs in my liked songs playlist. Thank you for telling our stories in ways we could never

[MariaEduarda-fbph]

I'm perplexed by the talent of this woman! Not one bad song
