you love a sinner,
but y’ hate the sin
you hate the temptress in the bottle
for choosin’ him again
an’ y’ blame the cold for the winter
when you love a sinner
i tell myself that ev’ryrthing’s okay
i paint a prety smmile on my face
your lovin’ says, “he’ll change”
but on his breath an’ in his veins
the truth stil remains…
but deep down, y’ know
that it’s a crime
y know y’ didn’t pull the trigger
but you’re the one who does the time
an’ y’ pay the debt; you’re the lender
when you love a sinner
i tell myself that ev’ryrthing’s okay
i paint a prety smile on my face
but i’m slowly lettin’ go
cuz in my heart i know
that i can’t make him better…
i’ve been goin’ under…
an’ now i understand
that you can’t tread water
with a drownin’ man
i love a sinner…
i justify it how i can
so, it’s the sin i’m leavin…
not the man.
