Backslider Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Stranger, I don't see you like I used to
It was a thievery of my eye
So long, you keep chasing like a rooster
Everything you lay eyes on

So I flee, I fly
I don't have no choice
I would rather, I would rather die
Than live with you in this life
Than live with you in this life
Cause...

[Hook]
You're just a backslider every single day
Backsliding like a chain
You're just a capturer on a lonely chase
Backslide into your grave

[Verse 2]
My babe, guess he could stand a little cheating
Because his heart is made of stone
And now, I ain't got tears to cry, I'm leaving
Even in your arms I'm alone

You go back to your old flame
And she'll love you once again
I'm just a blockade at this game
Your lips are lies and your eyes the same
[Hook]
You're just a backslider every single day
Backsliding like a chain
You're just a capturer on a lonely chase
Backslide into your grave

[Hook]
You're just a backslider every single day
Backsliding like a chain
You're just a capturer on a lonely chase
Backslide into your grave

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
