sad girl Lyrics
I watched the sunrise today
Chasing the moon on its way
Blood orange flooding the bay
Oh, what a fruitless escape
[Pre-Chorus]
Wishful thinking I could push the dark aside
Overthinking lines, holding back replies
Reading all their lies, thinking that they're right
[Chorus]
Gotta stop, gotta stop, gotta stop caring
I know you're probably hurting
The way that I'm hurting
We're both the same
Need someone to blame
Do you search just to see me
And hope I'm unhappy to ease the pain?
An easy escape
I know it's not your fault
'Cause you’re a sad girl, just like me
[Verse 2]
Say you don't care what they say
But you bottle it up anyway
Save it for a rainy day
So the sad hours won't go away
Wishful thinking I could push the dark aside
Overthinking lines, holding back replies
Reading all their lies, thinking that they're right
[Chorus]
Gotta stop, gotta stop, gotta stop caring
I know you're probably hurting
The way that I'm hurting
We're both the same
Need someone to blame
Do you search just to see me
And hope I'm unhappy to ease the pain?
An easy escape
I know it's not your fault
'Cause you’re a sad girl, just like me
[Bridge]
Am I wrong? Sometimes, I get it wrong
Maybe you're jealous, you think that I've won
But I know if only you knew
The hate in your words, you'd hate them too
[Chorus]
'Cause I know that you're probably hurting
The way that I'm hurting
We're both the same
Need someone to blame
Do you search just to see me
And hope I'm unhappy to ease the pain?
An easy escape
I know it's not your fault
'Cause you're a sad girl, just like me
I know it's not your fault
'Cause you're a sad girl, just like me

During a YouTube live performance Alaina said:
The reason that I wrote this song was because the day that we were in the studio like, when this kind of happened and everyone thought about it, I just posted a TikTok and it was like my first TikTok and, people were kind of mean and you know like those things that affects that you wish like, wouldn’t affect you, this was that scenario for me so… because I don’t like to, like, duel on, you know, the bad opinions of others but it came really helped, so “sad girl” came to be because I wanted to talk about how I was feeling without really giving the attention to the people who were like, giving me all those… the hate and stuff like that, so we tried to kind of mix in a beauty to the darkness so that is not putting somebody down but saying “you don’t have to be sad alone, we can help each other, we can get through this together, like, is all good”.
