Issues
Reggie Becton Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I thought I told you not to break my heart
I thought I told you not to break my heart
Wait a minute, Wait a minute

Just look at who you came with
And you wonder why Iโ€ฒm jaded
You used to run my mind like daily
Now you running up my patience
I get that we both famous
I hate the fact that we get painted

So tell me what you saying
Cause we both a little faded
It must be my fixation
On good girls who love creators
I wonder why I'm complaining
When I knew what I was facing

Look we keep fucking like we painless
One day we lovers thะตn we strangers
No interruptions or discussions is a ruckus
Itโ€ฒs likะต a playlist
Cause all we doing this playing
Oh we been going through things

We used to be in love
We used to be in love
But now we got issues
Now we got issues
We used to be in love (Love, love)
We used to be in love (So much Love)
But now we got issues
Now we got issues

But how much more could my heart break
How much more could my soul take
Should we just kick it and xscape
Get jd's marry a classmate
I know we said we'd really try
But after we apologize
The same old mistake

The same old headache
The same ol risk we take
It must be my fixation
For good girls that are vacant
I know im acting crazy
But the heart ainโ€ฒt what you play with

Look we keep fucking like we painless
One day we lovers then we strangers
No interruptions or discussions is a ruckus
Its Like a playlist
Cause all we doing this playing
Oh we been going through things

We used to be in love
We used to be in love
But now we got issues
Now we got issues
We used to be in love (Love, love)
We used to be in love (So much Love)
But now we got issues
Now we got issues

We used to be in love
We used to be in love
But now we got issues
Now we got issues
We used to be in love (Love, love)
We used to be in love (So much Love)
But now we got issues
Now we got issues

Wait a minute, wait a minute




I thought i told you not to break my heart
I thought i told you not to break my heart

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Reggie Becton's song "Issues" explore a complicated and turbulent romantic relationship that has become strained and filled with problems. The singer begins by expressing their frustration with their partner, reminding them that they had warned them not to break their heart. The repetition of this line emphasizes the pain and disappointment they are feeling. The singer then reflects on how their partner's actions have made them feel jaded and weary. They used to think about this person constantly, but now their patience is running out. Despite both of them being famous, the singer hates the way their relationship is portrayed to the public.


The next verse delves deeper into the complexities of their relationship. The singer acknowledges their fixation on dating good girls who love creators like themselves but questions why they are complaining when they knew what they were getting into. They describe the inconsistent nature of their relationship, going from being passionately in love to feeling like strangers. The singer longs for a relationship with no interruptions or discussions, comparing it to a playlist where everything flows seamlessly. However, they realize that they have been playing games with each other and going through difficult times.


In the bridge, the singer contemplates the state of their relationship and questions how much more their heart and soul can take. They suggest the possibility of escaping their problems and committing to someone else, but also recognize that they have made the same mistakes before. They understand that their fixation on empty, superficial relationships with good girls is driving their irrational behavior. They acknowledge their own emotional instability but emphasize that the heart is not something to be played with.


Line by Line Meaning

I thought I told you not to break my heart
I had clearly warned you not to hurt me emotionally


Wait a minute, Wait a minute
Pause for a moment, let's reflect on this


Just look at who you came with
Consider the person you're currently associated with


And you wonder why I'm jaded
Yet you're surprised that I'm cynical and distrustful


You used to run my mind like daily
At one point, you occupied my thoughts constantly


Now you running up my patience
Now you're testing my patience and causing frustration


I get that we both famous
I understand that we both have celebrity status


I hate the fact that we get painted
But I despise how we are portrayed in the public eye


So tell me what you saying
So, be honest with me and communicate your thoughts


Cause we both a little faded
Because we're both slightly intoxicated or under the influence


It must be my fixation
Perhaps it's my obsession


On good girls who love creators
With girls who are attracted to artists and creative individuals


I wonder why I'm complaining
I question why I'm expressing dissatisfaction


When I knew what I was facing
When I was fully aware of the challenges ahead


Look we keep fucking like we painless
We continue to engage in physical intimacy as if it has no emotional consequences


One day we lovers then we strangers
One day we're deeply connected, and the next we're distant and unfamiliar


No interruptions or discussions is a ruckus
Avoiding important conversations and conflicts only creates chaos


It's like a playlist
Our relationship feels like a series of songs, constantly changing and unpredictable


Cause all we doing is playing
Because all we're doing is engaging in superficial games


Oh we been going through things
Oh, we have been facing various difficulties


But how much more could my heart break
I wonder how much more emotional pain I can endure


How much more could my soul take
How much more can my spirit withstand


Should we just kick it and xscape
Should we simply leave this situation and find an escape


Get jd's marry a classmate
Should I follow the path of getting married to someone from my own circles


I know we said we'd really try
I know we promised to put in genuine effort


But after we apologize
But even after apologizing


The same old mistake
We keep repeating the same errors


The same old headache
The same persistent problem


The same old risk we take
We continue to take the same risks


It must be my fixation
It may stem from my obsessive tendencies


For good girls that are vacant
For women who appear open and available but lack depth


I know I'm acting crazy
I'm aware that my behavior is irrational


But the heart ain't what you play with
However, the heart is not something to be toyed with


We used to be in love
There was a time when we were deeply in love


But now we got issues
But now our relationship is filled with problems


Now we got issues
Now we have numerous unresolved conflicts


But now we got issues
Nevertheless, we are now faced with significant challenges


Now we got issues
Now we have multiple matters to address


We used to be in love (Love, love)
We used to share a deep romantic bond


We used to be in love (So much Love)
We used to have an immense amount of love for each other


But now we got issues
However, now we must confront our problems


Now we got issues
Now we have emotional and relational challenges to navigate


We used to be in love (Love, love)
There was a time when our love for each other was strong


We used to be in love (So much Love)
We were once deeply enamored with each other


But now we got issues
However, now our relationship is filled with complications


Now we got issues
Presently, we are confronted with significant problems


Wait a minute, wait a minute
Hold on, let's take a moment to think about this


I thought I told you not to break my heart
I distinctly remember warning you not to shatter my emotions
