Let it Slide (2008 worktape)
[Verse 1]
I give you an inch and you take a mile
You make mistakes that erase when you smile
I'm starting to feel like it ain't alright
How can you care if I don't cross your mind?

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I say I wanna talk but you just push me away
Tell me you're leaving when I want you to stay
I never thought that loving you would hurt me this way
But I'm the only one to blame 'cause I'm always saying

[Chorus]
It's okay, it's alright
I put the pain away and let it slide
I forgive and forget it
And then you promise me I won't regret it
But I do, it's not right
Because I turn around and let it slide
Am I crazy for thinking that someday you'll change things
When you keep on crossing the line?

[Verse 2]
Something about you won't let me go
Maybe it's fear of being alone
I keep saying I'm gonna move on
But it's so hard when you're all that I know
[Pre-Chorus]
But I say I wanna talk but you just push me away
Tell me you're leaving when I want you to stay
Never thought that loving you would hurt me this way
But I'm the only one to blame 'cause I'm always saying

[Chorus]
It's okay, it's alright
I put the pain away and let it slide
I forgive and forget it
And then you promise me I won't regret it
But I do, it's not right
Because I turn around and let it slide
Am I crazy for thinking that someday you'll change things
When you keep on crossing the line?

[Bridge]
Boy I wish I didn't give in so easily
Oh, I don't know what to do
'Cause I keep on feeding the flame
When I should really be telling you we're through, oh

[Chorus]
It's okay, it's alright
I put the pain away and let it slide
I forgive and forget it
And then you promise me I won't regret it
But I do, it's not right
Because I turn around and let it slide
Am I crazy for thinking that someday you'll change things
When you keep on crossing the line?
