Captions: “I finished Sad Forever on the flight over and decided to premiere it at the show. I wrote Sad Forever at a time when I was extremely low. I was dealing with depression and OCD but hadn’t really recognized or got the help I needed.

I felt out of control…One day I decided that what I was doing wasn’t working and I needed more help. Although I was hesitate, I decided to trust my psychiatrist and try a couple of medications that were supposed to help. Weeks later, I realized that medication was far from the enemy that I thought it was. I realized the help that I needed was okay.

Although I, or anyone else, may seem fine at any given moment, mental illness is something that is oftentimes not apparent. It’s an ongoing journey with ups and downs. Finding stability is a process that I’m still heavily working on.

All proceeds from this song will be donated to mental health organizations working to remove stigma and help others take their first step to get help too.”

LYRICS
Daydream
Life feels like a daydream
And I just wish that I could wake up
I just wish that I could wake up
My mind whispers in the nighttime
Voices always keeping me up
Telling me that I should give up
Cause lately I’ve been in the backseat to my own life
Trying to take control but I don’t know how to

I don’t want to be sad forever
I don’t want to be sad no more
I don’t want to wake up and wonder what the h**l am I doing this for
I don’t want to be medicated
I don’t want to go through that war
I don’t want to be sad
I don’t want to be sad
I don’t want to be sad anymore

I don’t want to be sad forever
I don’t want to go one more day
I just want to wake up and realize everything’s going to be okay
I don’t know how else to say it
I don’t want to go through that war
I don’t want to be sad
I don’t want to be sad
I don’t want to be sad anymore

I’m coming through to the other side
I’ll make it through to tomorrow
Cause that’s all I can do today (do today)
Cause lately I’ve been in the backseat to my own life
Trying to take control but I don’t know how to
