Let It Slide
Nikki Flores Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You make mistakes that erase when you smile
Im starting to feel like it aint alright
How can you care if I dont cross your mind
Cause I
Say I wanna talk but you just push me away
Tell me your leaving when I want you to stay
I never thought that loving you would hurt me this way
Cause Im always saying
Its ok, it's alright
I put the pain away and let it slide
I forgive and forget it
And then you promise me I wont regret it
But I do, it's not right
Because I turn around and let it slide
And im crazy for thinking
That someday you'll change things when you keep on crossin' the line
Something about you won't let me go
Maybe hes better being alone
I, keep saying im gonna move on
But it's so hard when your all that I know
But I, Say I wanna talk but you just push me away
Tell me your leaving when I want you to stay
Never thought that loving you would hurt me this way
But Im the only one to blame
Cause im always saying
It's ok, it's alright
I put the pain away and let it slide
I forgive and forget it
And then you promise me I wont regret it
But I do
It's not right because I turn around and let it slide
And Im crazy for thinking that someday you'll change things
When you keep on crossin' the line
Boy I wish I didnt give in so easily
Oh, I dont know what to do
Cause I keep on feeding the flame
When I should really be telling you we're through
Its ok, it's alright
I put the pain away and let it slide
I forgive and forget it
And then you promise me I wont regret it
But I do, it's not right
Because I turn around and let it slide
And im crazy for thinking
That someday you'll change things when you keep on crossin' the line
The lyrics of Let it Slide by Nikki Flores describe a relationship where one partner, possibly the singer, keep forgiving the other partner's mistakes, even when they continue to cross the line. The singer expresses disappointment, hurt, and a sense of being taken for granted. She seems to be in a dilemma of whether to move on or keep holding onto the relationship. The lyrics also suggest that the other partner may not be equally invested in the relationship, given that they push away instead of listening whenever there is an issue to address.
The 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,' represents the singer's attitude of overlooking the issues, forgiving and forgetting the wrongs in the relationship, only for the other partner to repeat the mistakes. The line, 'I'm crazy for thinking that someday you'll change things,' implies a sense of hopelessness on the singer's part, who seems to hold onto a belief that things will eventually change, even when faced with evidence that proves otherwise.
The lyrics of Let It Slide by Nikki Flores describe a common relationship theme, where one partner keeps forgiving the other's wrongs, leading to emotional harm. It highlights the importance of establishing boundaries and mutual respect in relationships.
