Backslider Lyrics

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 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

My babe
Guess he could stand a little cheatin'
Because his heart is made of stone
And now
I ain't got tears to cry, I'm leavin'
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

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

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

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
