“You addressed this on ‘Dead Friends.’ It’s a song that ultimately addresses survivor’s guilt,” Lowe interjected.
“I had a lot of survivor’s guilt after my overdose,” Lovato continued. “Because, you know, right after that Mac Miller died, and it just put everything into perspective for me of like that could have been you. That almost was you and … how are you going to live your life now.”
