Maddie Zahm – Fat Funny Friend Lyrics

Fat Funny Friend Lyrics by Maddie Zahm

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 exists 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 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 you wouldn’t care anyway
And I can try to explain
But my efforts in vain
They can’t relate to how-

I’ve drawn out in Sharpie where I’d take the scissors
If that’s what it’d 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 to go to eat”
It’s funny when I’m asked to go out on Halloween
Dresses and thigh highs, while 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’d take the scissors
