Eliza Harrison Smith - Backslide Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I cut out some bad friends
And picked up some healthier habits
I'm taking walks in the mornings
Shutting off all the constant distractions
I'm working on getting myself together
Think that I'm finally feeling better
But it never seems to last forever

[Chorus]
I can't have a good day without a bad night
I'm just trying not to see me in the worst light
But every time I start to feel alright
That's when I, I know I might backslide
It's like I can only get so far, then
I keep ending up right where I started
And healing doesn't happen in a straight line
But I hate that it's so easy to backslide

[Verse 2]
My inner critic will finally start to go quiet
But thеn I slip up, I get stuck
In the same old downward spiral, and I know
Yеah, I know I should give myself some grace
Take the highs with the lows and ride the waves
But when my head's in the clouds
I just want it to stay that way
[Chorus]
Can I have a good day without a bad night?
I'm just trying not to see me in the worst light
But every time I start to feel alright
That's when I, I know I might backslide
It's like I can only get so far, then
I keep ending up back where I started
And healing doesn't happen in a straight line
But I hate that it's so easy to backslide

[Bridge]
Back, back, back, back, backslide
Right back, back to the start line
Back, back, back, back, backslide, I

[Chorus]
Can't have a good day without a bad night
I'm just trying not to see me in the worst light
But every time I start to feel alright
That's when I, I know I might backslide
It's like I can only get so far, then
I keep ending up right where I started
And healing doesn't happen in a straight line
But I hate that it's so easy to backslide

[Outro]
Back, back, back, back, backslide
Right back, back to the start line
Back, back, back, back, backslide, I
Backslide
