It’s All the Same (This and Every Time)
© 2004 katie laurel smith, kate laurel publishing/ASCAP

You fit the bill
It slipped my mind
And you were fit to be tied

You never meant 
What you said
But does that mean you lied?

I’ve seen this sort of
Thing before
But you’ve been on my mind

Maybe you 
Were just confused
And I’ll let it slide
This and every time

‘Cause it’s all the same to me
if you stay or if you leave
And I will take what I’ve been given

If it’s all the same to you
Then there’s nothing I can do
You’re forgiven just like me

Did I mention
My intentions
Are only for the best

My cord unraveled
Hung my gavel 
Up to rest

And I am not 
The only one
Who is quick to judge

But what if I’m the last
Who’s looking past
The obvious
This and every time

This and every time…
When seventy-times-seven is the score
We’ll be even finding freedom at the end
Of the book
And the rules of heaven still apply
No one wins until we die to the things 
That hold us back

And it’s all the same to me
If you stay or if you leave…
