[Verse 1]
Tryna find a reason to hate you (Woah, oh)
Tryna make it easy on me (Woah, oh)
Can you hate my friends, stay out again, get reckless with my emotions?
Tryna find a reason to hate you
Give me a reason, I need a reason
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm askin' you to be honest
Say somethin' if you don't want this
I'm askin' you, can we call it what it is?
[Chorus]
'Cause I can feel you driftin', feel you hurtin', feel you fakin' it for me
But we can't deny it's endin', it's a sad reality
We go round and round in circles
Spinnin' out in disbelief
But we can't deny it's ending, it's a sad reality, reality
[Drop]
(Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, yeah)
Sad reality
(Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah)
Sad reality
[Verse 2]
It's hard to look away when you're smilin'
Oh, it's so misleadin'
Like maybe things are turnin' around
Oh, but we're not healin'
You gave me the world, oceans ran dry
We're on different planets and I'm done tryin'
[Pre-Chorus]
So I'm askin' you, can we call it what it is?
[Chorus]
'Cause I can feel you driftin', feel you hurtin', feel you fakin' it for me
But we can't deny it's endin', it's a sad reality
We go round and round in circles
Spinnin' out in disbelief
But we can't deny it's ending, it's a sad reality, reality
[Drop]
[Outro]
'Cause I can feel you driftin', feel you hurtin', feel you fakin' it for me
But we can't deny it's endin', it's a sad reality
We go round and round in circles
Spinnin' out in disbelief
But we can't deny it's ending, it's a sad reality, reality

Codeko:
“Sad Reality” is one of those songs that came together incredibly quickly. Once I heard Casey’s vocals, I sat down with a guitar…It just clicked, and a few hours later I recorded the basis for the entire song.
