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
