Melbourne based boyfriend/girlfriend duo Lunacy wrote ‘Sad B!tch’ to express their struggles of keeping up appearances while suffering with mental health issues. It reinforces the idea that you never really know how much someone is struggling underneath the exterior they present to the outside world...
[VERSE}
Spent all my money on shit I don’t need
Now tonight’s the night but I just don’t wanna leave
Lookin’ real good but I know it won’t last
Smile for the camera but it’s only a mask
[PRE-Chorus]
How can I ever go out?
(How can I ever go out?)
Stuck inside with self doubt
(Stuck inside with self doubt)
I can only stay a while
(Only stay a while)
Can’t keep living in denial
(Oh my god)
[Chorus]
They think that I’m a bad bitch
But really I’m just sad, bitch
Got so many bad habits that I don’t wanna deal with
If I can be honest I’m feeling like a product
Of my manipulation, my social obligation
Think that I’m a bad bitch
But really I’m just sad, bitch
[VERSE 2]
Trying real hard just to get out of bed
Sick of feeling trapped and always stuck in my head
Crying all night but they’ll never know
Pull myself together but it’s only for show
[PRE-Chorus]
Compliment my style
(Compliment my style)
Feel complеtely naked
(Feel completеly naked)
Slip back into character
(Slip back into character)
Fake it ‘til you make it
(Fake it ‘til you make it)
[Chorus]
They think that I’m a bad bitch
But really I’m just sad, bitch
Got so many bad habits that I don’t wanna deal with
If I can be honest I’m feeling like a product
Of my manipulation, my social obligation
Think that I’m a bad bitch
But really I’m just sad, bitch
[BRIDGE]
I’m sorry
Please don't worry about me I’m just like this all the time
And please don’t ask me how I’m doin’
I promise by tonight I’ll be fine
[Chorus]
They think that I’m a bad bitch
But really I’m just sad, bitch
Got so many bad habits that I don’t wanna deal with
If I can be honest I’m feeling like a product
Of my manipulation, my social obligation
Think that I’m a bad bitch
But really I’m just sad, bitch
(Yeah)
