Issues
Cameron Bedell Lyrics

I'm jealous, I'm overzealous
I react strongly to situations, sometimes with unwarranted jealousy or excessive excitement.

When I'm down I get real down
My lows can be quite intense and difficult to handle.

When I'm high I don't come down
Conversely, my highs can also be intense and difficult to come down from.

But I get angry, baby, believe me
Despite my other emotional states, I definitely experience bouts of anger as well.

I could love you just like that
Despite my emotional volatility, I have the capacity to love deeply and quickly.

And I can leave you just as fast
However, the same impulsiveness that leads me to love quickly can also lead me to leave quickly.

But you don't judge me
Despite my flaws, you don't criticize or condemn me.

'Cause if you did, baby, I would judge you too
If you were to judge me, I would likely retaliate in kind, as we both have our own issues.

'Cause I got issues, but you got 'em too
We both have our own sets of emotional issues and baggage to deal with.

So give 'em all to me and I'll give mine to you
Let's share our problems with each other, and together we can help each other through them.

Bask in the glory, of all our problems
Let's embrace our flaws and problems, recognizing that it's a part of our shared experience.

'Cause we got the kind of love it takes to solve 'em
Our love for each other is strong enough to overcome any problems or obstacles we may face.

You do shit on purpose
Sometimes it seems like you intentionally cause or worsen problems.

You get mad and you break things
When you're upset or angry, you tend to lash out in destructive ways.

Feel bad, try to fix things
After the fact, you recognize the damage that was done and try to make amends.

But you're perfect, poorly wired circuit
Although you have your own issues and flaws, I see you as perfect, like a machine with faulty wiring.

And got hands like an ocean
Your hands have the power and strength to both push me away and pull me closer.

Push you out, pull you back in
Our relationship can be tumultuous, with moments of distance followed by moments of intense closeness.

'Cause you see it from the same point of view
Our experiences and emotional struggles are similar, so you understand where I'm coming from.

Ohh, I need you, uhh, ohh
I rely on you and your support to help me through my own emotional struggles.

And one of them is how bad I need you, issues
One of my main issues is how much I rely on and need you in my life.

And one of them is how bad I need you
I recognize that my dependence on you can be problematic, but it's something I can't help.
