Lyrics
Cross The Line
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Black and white, push and pull
Then it gets uncomfortable
The time you got too close, I pushed you back
Drawing lines in the sand, tryna make you understand
I guess I lost you so much more because of that
Why can't I learn from mistakes?
Test forgiveness 'til it breaks
Give you just a little space
And I've been carrying on like
I can't do nothing 'bout it
Just watch you up and roll away
I can't do nothing 'bout it
I don't know if it's love or hate
I say sorry, but I barely mapped it
I turn back, but the only way's to fall behind
Oh, have I crossed the line?
Was I too much or not enough?
Far too smooth or way too rough?
Either way, I know that I've been hard to tolerate
Less like love and not quite friends
Guess I pushed too hard again, well
That's the kinda love you won't appreciate
Why can't I learn from mistakes?
Test forgiveness 'til it breaks
Give you just a little space
And I've been carrying on like
I can't do nothing 'bout it
Just watch you up and roll away
I can't do nothing 'bout it
I don't know if it's love or hate
I say sorry, but I barely mapped it
I turn back, but the only way's to fall behind
Oh, have I crossed the line?
And I knew I would sometime
Did it to myself, I know
And I can't do nothing 'bout it
But just watch you up and roll away
I can't do nothing 'bout it
And I don't know if it's love or hate
I say sorry, but I barely mapped it
I turn back, but the only way's to fall behind
Oh, have I crossed the line?
