“Too Sad To Cry” is about not having enough strength to grieve due to not being able to comprehend why you’re feeling so down.
Sasha revealed how the track came together on Idolator:
I wrote that song with King Henry and Shane McNally, who’s amazing. We just became really close. He came over, sat...
[Verse 1]
Wasn't raised religious
But I wish that I was
Having nothing to believe in
Has been killing my buzz
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I cut my hair, closed the blinds
Play "Hallelujah" like two dozen times
And yesterday, I tried to pray
But I didn’t know what to say
[Chorus]
I'm too sad to cry, too high to get up
Don't even try ’cause I'm scared to fuck up
Don't like to talk, I just lay in my bed
Don't even try to go out with my friends
Lied to my doctor, she knew I was fakin'
Gave me some pills, but I'm too scared to take 'em
I try and I try, but I'm too sad to cry
[Verse 2]
Can’t tell my mama
It makes her worry
I’m not suicidal
But sometimes, the lines get all blurry
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I cut my hair, closed the blinds
Played "Hallelujah" like two dozen times
And yesterday, I tried to pray
But I didn't know what to say
[Chorus]
I’m too sad to cry, too high to get up
Don't even try 'cause I'm scared to fuck up
Don’t like to talk, I just lay in my bed
Don't even try to go out with my friends
I lied to my doctor, she knew I was fakin'
Gave me some pills, but I'm too scared to take 'em
I try and I try, but I'm too sad to cry
[Chorus]
I'm too sad to cry, too high to get up
Don't even try 'cause I'm scared to fuck up
Don't like to talk, I just stay in my bed
Don't even try to go out with my friends
Lied to my doctor, she knew I was fakin'
Gave me some pills, but I'm too scared to take 'em
I try and I try, but I'm too sad to cry
