When You Love A Sinner lyrics

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

I tell myself that everyrthing's okay

I paint a prety smile on my face

your lovin' says, "he'll change"

but on his breath and in his veins

the truth stil remains

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're the lender

when you love a sinner

I tell myself that everyrthing's okay

I paint a prety smile on my face

but I'm slowly lettin' go

cause in my heart I know

that I can't make him better

and I've been goin' under

and 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
