Sad, Dumb, Lonely
Sad, Dumb, Lonely is one of the most honest songs I’ve ever written. It’s about the kind of emotional exhaustion that doesn’t always show up on the surface . . the quiet ache of pretending you’re okay when you’re not, the pressure to always be “on,” and the loneliness that creeps in even when you’re surrounded by noise. I wrote this song during a season where everything felt like too much and not enough all at once.
It’s a reflection on how we cope in a world that constantly asks us to perform . . to be happy, polished, and unbothered. But under that performance, so many of us are carrying questions, pain, and the quiet longing for something real. Sad, Dumb, Lonely doesn’t glamorize the struggle . . it just admits that it’s there, and that admitting it is a kind of freedom. It’s for anyone who’s ever smiled through the weight of it all and just needed to feel seen.
