Cover art for Madeline lyrics by Tickle Me Pink

I saw TMP in concert in Tallahassee back in January, and the lead singer said this song was about a girl that the band was friends with back home, and that she had overdosed and died. I can't remember if he said it was a suicide or not, but I think that it was. This song is about the regret of not being there for her when she needed him. He feels partially responsible for what happened to her. He started crying on stage and this was the first time I had ever even heard of them, I was instantly a fan because of this song. It is so sad. It is painfully obvious that even though it was years ago, it still haunts him.
