[verse 1]
tell me the truth: are you now pharisees?
talking ‘bout worship but where’s the sanity?
auctioning blessings for tithes and offering
nursery rhymes disguised as maturity
but i guess i’m not supposed to make critique
to go against god – you call that blaspheming
but god and me cool, my issue tangibly
is within the four walls of your hypocrisy

[pre+chorus 1]
was it my mouth (tearing down the patriarchy)?
was it my mind (deconstructing the binary)?
is it my heart?
baby, i don’t know but i can’t change that
is this all about my s+xuality?

[chorus]
so i’m a backslider
on the wrong side of the divider
must be your insider
since i’m no longer a headliner
so i’m a backslider
guess i’ll find a new cosigner
i don’t know why you don’t love me
jesus said you’re supposed to love me

[verse 2]
you want me to preach and you want me to sing
you want me to shout and call it ministry
but then when i tell you i want to go green
you flip the script like you don’t know me
for 15 years i gave my everything
go on, shut me out but it’s disturbing
when faking myself i had anointing
but you ain’t tryna hear me

[pre+chorus 2]
was it my mouth (tearing down your patriarchy)?
was it my mind (deconstructing your binary)?
is it my heart?
baby, i don’t know but i can’t change that
does this mean that i am in apostasy?

[chorus]
well i’m a backslider
on the wrong side of the divider
must be your insider
cus i’m no longer a headliner
so i’m a backslider
guess i’ll find a new cosigner
i don’t know why you don’t love me
jesus said you’re supposed to love me

[bridge]
so why do i feel like you don’t love me?
why do i feel like you don’t care?
why do i feel like church is ugly?
and why do i feel like love is rare?
you poke around and it’s so troubling
i run my mouth and i’m the fool
in pride you say so you can judge me
but in the spirit you’re just cruel

[chorus]
well i’m a backslider
on the wrong side of the divider
must be your insider
cus i’m no longer a headliner
so i’m a backslider
guess i’ll find a new cosigner
i don’t know why you don’t love me
jesus said you’re supposed to love me
