Backslide Lyrics by Jelly Roll

Ballads Of The Broken

2021

[Verse 1]
Time has gone by
I don’t know why
I’m just so stuck on you
Hear my soul cry
I’ve been so high
I might nosedive over you
I don’t want the regrets
I don’t wanna feel lost
I just wanna say no but that word can’t be found
I don’t want the night sweats
I don’t want the withdraws
I just wanna be up ‘cause I’m feeling so down

[Chorus]
I backslide
I’m an addict, you’re a habit that just won’t set me free
I backslide
Back to what we had, now rehab’s the fix that I need
Done did pills, then white lines
Nothing feels, like you’re high
So I backslide
Backslide
I’m sliding back to you

[Verse 2]
I’ve been shaking
Got me craving
I need saving from you
Staying wasted
Chasing pavement
Can’t escape it so I use
I don’t want the heart race
I don’t want the crossfade
Say I wanna get clean but I knock on your door
I just wanna find peace
I just wanna get sleep
Say I wanna move on but can’t find my way forward

[Chorus]
I backslide
I’m an addict, you’re a habit that just won’t set me free
I backslide
Back to what we had, now rehab’s the fix that I need
Done did pills, then white lines
Nothing feels, like you’re high
So I backslide
Backslide
I’m sliding back to you

[Bridge]
Time has gone by
I don’t know why
I’m just so stuck on you
Hear my soul cry
I’ve been so high
I might nosedive over you

[Chorus]
I backslide
I’m an addict, you’re a habit that just won’t set me free
I backslide
Back to what we had, now rehab’s the fix that I need
Done did pills, then white lines
Nothing feels, like you’re high
So I backslide
Backslide
I’m sliding back to you
