Problems Lyrics by Ren Stedman

2018

[Intro]
Oh
Oh

[Verse 1]
My friends don’t really know me
They know the face I make
To cover up the fact
That I am getting bad again
It’s not deceptive of me
It’s called protecting only
Friends and family
So they don’t look at me that way
They way you look at inconvenience but say it’s not
'Cause no one likes to hang around someone that doesn’t talk
The only positive of darkness looming over me is
I don’t wanna leave my room
I’d rather write how I am feeling

[Pre-Chorus]
All in words
'Cause no one really knows the truth how much this really hurts

[Chorus]
But who am I without my problems
Well I don’t think I’m anything
Without the black dog I could never write
So I could never sing
Without him I’m not interesting

[Post-Chorus]
Oh
Oh

[Verse 2]
I never sleep at night
And that’s an early warning
I know that things are getting bad
If I say music’s boring
I move from house to house
To try and feel like I am home
But comfort isn’t found
If I don’t feel some kind of sink within my bones
Well I’m sitting on my own
And I start to understand
That I cannot write
A single thing if I’m not feeling sad
And the effort that I rip from in my core
I realise the words I’ve written are the same ones as before

[Pre-Chorus]
And all the same old words
These chemicals that kill me are what really write my verses

[Chorus]
But who am I without my problems
Well I don’t think I’m anything
Without the black dog I could never write
So I could never sing
Without him I’m not interesting

[Post-Chorus]
Oh
Oh

[Bridge]
But would they even notice if I never wrote again
I realise it’s been a week
Since I had even heard from any of my friends
Or are we really friends
Or are we really friends enough I guess
Or have I pushed them all away again?

[Pre-Chorus]
And all in words
I know it only builds from this
And this is not the worst of it

[Chorus]
But who am I without my problems
Well I don’t think I’m anything
Without the black dog I could never write
So I could never sing
Maybe I’m not interesting at all

[Post-Chorus]
Oh
Oh
