The Forgiven

They love me for being honestMe aman por ser honesto

They love me for being myselfMe aman por ser yo mismo

But the minute i mention jesusPero en el momento en que menciono a Jesús

They want me to go to hellQuieren que me vaya al infierno

It's hard to find the balanceEs difícil encontrar el equilibrio

When i don't believe in oneCuando no creo en una

When you mix art with businessCuando mezclas arte con negocios

You're just shooting an empty gunSólo estás disparando un arma vacía

You're just a songwriter, you ain't a preacherEres sólo un compositor, no un predicador

We came to mourn you, not to look in the mirrorVinimos a llorarte, no a mirarte al espejo

Sing about those hard times, sing about those womenCanta sobre esos tiempos difíciles, canta sobre esas mujeres

We love the broken, not the forgivenAmamos a los quebrantados, no a los perdonados

These songs will only take meEstas canciones sólo me llevarán

As far as the people will goPor lo que la gente va a ir

If i can't make them happySi no puedo hacerlos felices

Well then they won't come to my showsBueno, entonces no vendrán a mis shows

Maybe that's what killedTal vez eso es lo que mató

All the great voices in the worldTodas las grandes voces del mundo

Always bleeding for every lineSiempre sangrando por cada línea

But no one was bleeding in returnPero nadie sangraba a cambio

You're just a songwriter, you ain't a preacherEres sólo un compositor, no un predicador

We came to mourn you, not to look in the mirrorVinimos a llorarte, no a mirarte al espejo

Sing about those hard times, sing about those womenCanta sobre esos tiempos difíciles, canta sobre esas mujeres

We love the broken, not the forgivenAmamos a los quebrantados, no a los perdonados
