This song is about a guy who acts like an angel/saint but is actually really mean and is constantly questioning the writer’s actions to keep them from discovering their true intentions, which eventually failed and led their rival to write this song.
[Verse 1]
I'm sorry but your story isn't adding up
Think your religion is a lie to keep my mouth shut
So I won't testify to crimes you're keepin' score of
Why don't you throw me to the wolves, I thought you were one?
[Pre-Chorus]
You were standin' there like an angry god
Countin' out my sins just to cross them off
Sayin' that my tongue was too loud to trust
And that my blood couldn't keep you
[Chorus]
My dear, you're not so innocent
You're foolin' heaven's gates
So you won't have to change
You're no saint, you're no savior
[Verse 2]
Your revelations don't look nothin' like the pictures
You read between the lines and don't stick to the scriptures
You only follow rules if others follow with you
That doesn't sound too holy, only playing victim
[Pre-Chorus]
You were standin' there like an angry god
Countin' out my sins just to cross them off
Sayin' that my tongue was too loud to trust
And that my blood couldn't keep you
[Chorus]
My dear, you're not so innocent
You're foolin' heaven's gates
So you won't have to change
You're no saint, you're no savior
[Bridge]
So keep your judgment for someone else, I've had enough
And keep your judgment for someone else, I've had enough
So keep your judgment for someone else, I've had enough
And keep your judgment for someone else, I've had enough
[Chorus]
My dear, you're not so innocent
You're foolin' heaven's gates
So you won't have to change
You're no saint, you're no savior
