David Ramirez - The Forgiven Lyrics

David Ramirez Lyrics

"The Forgiven"

They love me for being honest
They love me for being myself
But the minute I mention Jesus
They want 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 ain't a preacher
We came 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 ain't a preacher
We came 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
