When You Love A Sinner

[Verse 1]

When you love a sinner

You hate the sin

You hate the temptress in the bottle

For choosin' him again

And you blame the cold

For the winter

When you love a sinner

[Chorus]

I tell myself that everything's okay

I paint a pretty smile on my face

Your lovin' says, "he'll change"

But on his breath and in his veins

The truth stil remains

[Verse 2]

Deep down, you know

That it's a crime

You know you didn't pull the trigger

But you're the one who does the time

And you pay the debt

You'rе the lender

Whеn you love a sinner

[Chorus]

I tell myself that everything's okay

I paint a pretty smile on my face

But I'm slowly lettin' go

Cause in my heart I know

That I can't make him better

Ooh

[Bridge]

And I've been goin' under

And now I understand

That you can't tread water

With a drownin' man

[Outro]

I love a sinner

I justify it how I can

So, it's the sin

I'm leavin, not the man
