She cries as they seem to duet his song\u00a0\u201cI Am Not Okay.\u201d\u00a0This song, from his\u00a0Beautifully Broken<\/em>\u00a0album in 2024, tells a vulnerable and heartbreaking story of being stuck in grief and despair.<\/p>\n

It also contains a message of hope woven throughout the lyrics when he says,<\/p>\n

\u201cI know, I can\u2019t be the only one
\nWho\u2019s holding on for dear life
\nBut God knows, I know
\nWhen it\u2019s all said and done
\nI\u2019m not okay
\nBut it\u2019s all gonna be alright.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n
