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
