The Forgiven - David Ramírez

They love me for being honest

They love me for being myself

But the minute I mention Jesus

They wan’t me to go to hell

It’s hard to find a balance

When I don’t believe in one

When you mix art with business

You’re just shooting an empty Gun

You’re just a songwriter

You aint a preacher

We’ve come to mourn you,

not to look in the mirror

Sing about the hard times

Sing about those women

We love the broken,

not the forgiven.

And these songs will only take me

as far as the people will go

If I can’t make them happy,

well they won’t come to my shows

Mayby that’s what’s killed

All the great voices in the world

Always bleeding for every line

but no one was bleeding in return

You’re just a songwriter

You aint a preacher

We’ve come to mourn you,

not to look in the mirror

Sing about the hard times

Sing about those women

We love the broken,

not the forgiven

Sing about those hard times

Sing about those women

We love the broken,

not the forgiven
