Just Let It Slide
Harmony Beyond Words: Embracing Forgiveness in 'Just Let It Slide'
Lyrics
I don't even know what started the fight we just had
I'm unaware of the cause that initiated our recent argument.
One minute we're happy, next minute we're both fightin' mad
We swiftly transitioned from being content to being extremely angry at each other.
And what does it get us outside of this hurtin' inside
Our disputes result in emotional pain internally, but there's no resolution externally.
'Cause we're not forgiving, we're never willin' to listen and just let it slide
We tend not to forgive or understand each other's perspective, refusing to let go of grudges.
Wild accusations lead us to a quarrel every time
Unfounded allegations consistently provoke arguments between us.
And then comes that game of who's right and who's wrong (and am I)
This leads to a cycle where both parties strive to prove their righteousness.
When the trigger of temper is pulled by the finger of pride
Anger is triggered by a sense of pride, escalating conflicts.
Baby, let's be forgiving and try to be willing to listen and just let it slide
Suggesting a plea to forgive and communicate, letting go of stubbornness.
Just think of the time we've already wasted on hate
We've wasted precious time by harboring hate towards each other.
And count off the hours when love had to stand back and wait
Reflecting on instances where love had to take a backseat due to our conflicts.
Then the next time our anger puts us on opposite sides
When our anger drives us apart, causing friction.
Baby, let's be forgiving and try to be willing to listen and just let it slide
Advocating for forgiveness and a willingness to understand each other.
Wild accusations lead us to a quarrel every time
Baseless accusations consistently lead to arguments.
And then comes that game of who's right and who's wrong (and am I)
Continuation of the cycle where determining who's right or wrong becomes crucial.
When the trigger of temper is pulled by the finger of pride
Emphasizing that pride triggers heated arguments.
Baby, let's be forgiving and try to be willing to listen and just let it slide
An urging to forgive, listen, and let go of stubbornness.
Baby, let's be forgiving and try to be willing to listen and just let it slide
A final plea to forgive, listen, and move beyond conflicts.
