Issues
GoGo Morrow Lyrics

I tried to fit someone new into an old mold
I attempted to make a new person fit into my preexisting idea of what a partner should be

But there′s nothin' left to buy happiness with once you′ve sold your soul
Once you compromise your values or true self, it's hard to regain happiness

I gotta find what I've lost in the fire
I need to recover what I've lost in a previous romantic relationship that ended badly

Don't take it personal
Please don't be offended or feel personally attacked

You wear cologne like him
You have the same scent as a former partner who I associate with pain

You answer the phone like him
Your manner of speaking on the phone is similar to a previous partner who caused me hurt

I swear, you even look like him
Your physical appearance reminds me of an ex-partner who caused me heartbreak

But I don′t wanna hurt again
I don't want to risk being hurt in another relationship

Always on the road like him
You have a similar career that involves frequent travel like a previous partner who hurt me

Never put me first like him
You don't prioritize our relationship like my previous ex-partner who caused me pain

You even wear your shirt like him
Your clothing style is reminiscent of an ex-partner who was emotionally damaging

You remind of a man that I once knew
You trigger my memories of a past partner who hurt me deeply

See his face whenever I, I look at you
When I see you, I'm reminded of my previous partner who caused me hurt

This ain′t about you, ooh
Please understand that you're not the sole cause of my emotional baggage

How were you supposed to know
I don't hold you responsible for triggering my emotional pain

That my heart's the issue?
My emotional trauma from past relationships is affecting my current relationship

I got issues (la-la-la-la-la, la)
I have unresolved emotional baggage that affects my ability to have a healthy relationship

My heart issues (la-la-la-la-la, la)
My emotional trauma is centered around past romantic relationships

I know you think you′ll get my love but you won't
I understand that you have expectations for our relationship, but I may not be emotionally capable of fulfilling them

′Cause I can't help it who I love and who I don't
I cannot control who I develop feelings for or who I don't

Pillow talk in private places, our conversation
Intimate conversations we have in private settings, such as in bed

Don′t get caught up in my vibration, infatuation
Please don't get overly emotionally invested in me due to our physically intimate conversations
