Maisie Peters - Take Care Of Yourself - Lyric Video

So this song means a lot to me, and has a big fat story behind it that you will have to come to a show to hear me talk about. But essentially myself and my friend James wrote it as an ode to myself, to be kinder and nicer and softer on myself (hence the mirror!). I hope it also reminds you to do the same, and I can't wait to sing it live with you all.

[putiria]

[madisondenise]

“I hate how you’re going thru hell, when you’d never let anyone else” made me literally cry, i needed that

“I hate how you’re going through hell when u never let anyone else’ and ‘call your friends, send your ego away’ is just me and I’m now thinking about my whole life

[briannalanzen]

[avanicole]

Idk why but the line “the world won’t fall if you’re not holding it up” really speaks to me

[Meandtherhythm_]

'And I hate how you're going thru hell yeah, when you'd never let anyone else' hit me💕

[Petaurista]

"You don't get a medal for a last one awake" it's LITERALLY about me writing notes for exam for whole year. Alone. Whole night. and not too long after that one girl refused to give one other girl notes from one damn lecture.

[nadiyahasanah]

Listening this introspective trippy trip is like being hugged by any creature who met me...

[ekomieran]

my older sister just sent this link to me. i haven’t seen her in almost a month and every time a see her we’re inseparable, but we aren’t the lovey type of siblings - we’re more of the ones that make fun of each other and call each other stupid as a joke. this caught me off guard. i know she won’t see this, but i love you J, even if i never actually say it to you. thank you.

[Rose-kthn]

I was just telling my boyfriend that I never take my own advice. This song hits so hard. You did it beautifully. Thank you.

[lisikoshy]

When it all goes bad
You're the shrink of the club
But, you don't ever take your own advice
The world won't fall if you're not holding it up
Just take a minute, put your mind on ice

And you try, and you try, and you're trying
But the burden is heavy and overgrown
And God knows that we all get tired
It's a long night when you do it on your own
And I

I hate how you talk to yourself
It's not weak if you need to be held
So cut off a little slack and roll all your cavalry back
My love, take care of yourself

Call your friends, send your ego away
No, don't need to take it all so seriously
You don't get a medal for the last one awake
So rest your eyes and give your baggage to me

And you try, and you try, and you're trying
But the burden is heavy and overgrown
And God knows that we all get tired
It's a long night when you do it on your own
And I

I hate how you talk to yourself
It's not weak if you need to be held
So cut off a little slack and roll all your cavalry back
My love, take care of yourself

And I hate how you're going through hell, yeah
When you've never let anyone else
So cut off a little slack and roll all your cavalry back
My love, take care of yourself

Yeah, my love, take care of yourself

All these things we hide behind
Let's not do that, you and I
Take a breath and take your time
Hold my gaze, and we'll be fine

'Cause God knows that we all get tired
It's a long night when you do it on your own
And I

I hate how you talk to yourself
It's not weak if you need to be held
So cut off a little slack and roll all your cavalry back
My love, take care of yourself

And I hate how you're going through hell, yeah
When you've never let anyone else
So cut off a little slack and roll all your cavalry back
My love, take care of yourself

Yeah, my love, take care of yourself

Yeah, my love, take care of yourself

This is one of those songs to play when your on a late night train journey or just at home after a long day, sitting back and taking in the lyrics. When life is a little shitty, we all need this song and I think we can all relate to the lyrics at some point. Truly beautiful. If you have a friend who you feel is struggling a lil in life, send them this song❤

[veisnthere]

this is my comfort song, i needed this when i was younger and im so happy i got to hear what i needed the most thanku maisie

[epiccarrot]

So I don't know if anyone will see this or not, but I just want to talk. I'm seeing a psychiatrist at the moment because my horrible school life from my very first year onwards created major anxiety, depression and trauma, and has only gotten worse as I've gotten older (I'm 20). I used to live in a really heavily overpopulated area, and because of my generally jolly personality, my other mental health aspects (ADHD and at the time undiagnosed autism) and the strain on the mental health services, i never got the help I needed until I moved away. It still took a while for me to finally get help even after moving. During this time where I was suffering without help, the idea of white men being automatically privileged spread further and further across society, and my troubles were largely ignored by my peers as a result. I felt (and still feel) horrible and alone, because other than my family no one really wanted to give me the time of day for years, despite having to leave university/school classes and activities sometimes when my trauma, anxiety and depression got too much. More songs like this need to be made nowadays. No matter what and who you were when you were born, you can still have horrible experiences in your life that can make things unbearable. This song helps spread a very important message. Even when you have no one, you need to look after yourself. And be aware of the suffering of those around you, because having a shoulder to cry on is all someone can sometimes need to get through a panic attack, traumatic memory resurfacing, or a depression spike. I thankfully have my mum who's always happy to give me a hug when I need it. But some people have no one to confide in. And those people need a shoulder to cry on the most.

I wish I had someone who would tell me the things this song tells me.

[lavendermoon]

Honestly, I’ve been watching your stuff for years, and it’s been a long road but I’m so glad I’m still here. You’re an amazing artist and I know you’re going to do wonderful things! :)

[taliw]

Calming that chorus is my favorite part

[d.m.kovalcin]

This was recc'd on Spotify and I may have cried the first time I heard it. I have a lot of trouble being kind to myself, and I'm doing my best to improve that, but it's hard sometimes, and this song really just hit on that very exposed bit of myself at the time. It's also really pretty!
