Issues - James Durbin

If you were to say to me

If you ask what’s wrong with me

Well I would tell you it’s everything

When I’m tired and feeling sick

When it’s nothing you can fix

I want you to know it’s not you

Cause I will never be OK, this I know, but that’s OK

Cause my eyes are never shut, while my heart is wide awake

And it’s all that I can do

Tell me, what else should I do?

Cause

I’ve got issues, I’ve got scars

And the color is just like yours

I was broken right from the start

I’m no different than you are

I’m not perfect, I’m perfectly flawed

And my scratches don’t hurt much at all

But just like you, I’ve got issues

There are smiles, there are tears

There are times through the years

Where I cannot remember yesterday

And everything is like a blur

It loses me around a curve

I’m always in a high speed chase

And I’m trying to gain control using everything I know

But nothing seems to work, I’ll never catch at this I’m sure

But I will not forget

You’ve been with me step by step

I’ve got issues, I’ve got scars

And the color is just like yours

I was broken right from the start

I’m no different than you are

I’m not perfect, I’m perfectly flawed

And my scratches don’t hurt much at all

But just like you, I’ve got issues

Am I unwell, cause I don’t understand

Is this what they say it is, to be human

And these bandages I wear to keep out the cold

They keep me from something that I’ll never know, know

I’ve got issues, I’ve got scars

And the color is just like yours

I was broken right from the start

I’m no different than you are

I’m not perfect, I’m perfectly flawed

And my scratches don’t hurt much at all

But just like you

You know I’m just like you

I’ve got issues
