Lauv - Sad Forever Lyrics

Lauv Lyrics

"Sad Forever"

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 nightime
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 wanna be sad forever
I don't wanna be sad no more
I don't wanna wake up and wonder
What the hell am I doing this for?
I don't wanna be medicated
I don't wanna go through that war
I don't wanna be sad
I don't wanna be sad
I don't wanna be sad anymore

I don't wanna be sad forever
I don't wanna go one more day
I just wanna wake up and realize
Everything's gonna be okay
I don't know what words to say and
I don't wanna go through that war
I don't wanna be sad
I don't wanna be sad
I don't wanna 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

I don't wanna be sad forever
I don't wanna be sad no more
I don't wanna wake up and wonder
What the hell am I doing this for?
I don't wanna be medicated
I don't wanna go through that war
I don't wanna be sad
I don't wanna be sad
I don't wanna be sad anymore

I don't wanna be sad forever
I don't wanna go one more day
I just wanna wake up and realize
Everything's gonna be okay
I don't know what words to say and
I don't wanna go through that war
I don't wanna be sad
I don't wanna be sad
I don't wanna be sad anymore

Mmm, sad anymore

I don't wanna be sad forever
I don't wanna be sad no more
I don't wanna wake up and wonder
What the hell am I doing this for?
I don't wanna be medicated
I don't wanna go through that war
I don't wanna be sad
I don't wanna be sad
I don't wanna be sad anymore

I don't wanna be sad forever
I don't wanna go one more day
I just wanna wake up and realize
Everything's gonna be okay
I don't know what words to say and
I don't wanna go through that war
I don't wanna be sad
I don't wanna be sad
I don't wanna be sad anymore

"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... All proceeds are going to organizations working to end the stigma around mental health. Hope you enjoy." - Lauv.
