sad again Lyrics – mgk

Pulled from that early tracklist he shared on socials, it captures the Cleveland rapper-turned-rocker wrestling with family ghosts and self-sabotage right as he was ditching rap for guitars. You can hear the hotel room demos vibe in lines like “Hey Dad, I haven’t talked to you in six years / I ran away and never looked back,” turning personal letters into anthems that hit harder now, five years on.

The chorus strips it down even more: “I’m sad again / I cried again,” looping that cycle of isolation and regret without the gloss of the album’s hits like Bloody Valentine. It’s mgk at his most unfiltered—been on his own since 18, pushing people away just to avoid becoming his parents, all over a sparse beat that builds to a bridge yelling at fake friends. Fans dug it up during the anniversary buzz last month, with clips from his intimate sets going viral on TikTok, proving why it deserved a spot next to Forget Me Too. In a discography full of reinvention, Sad Again feels like the one that got away, a reminder of the pain fueling his stadium-rock glow-up.

Dive into the SAD AGAIN lyrics below and unpack its raw family reckoning. Don’t miss other TICKETS TO MY DOWNFALL tracks for more of mgk’s pop-punk heart.
