Lyrics translated into Español · See the original lyrics
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
