Sinner Like You Lyrics by Parson James

The Temple EP

2015

[Verse 1]
Mama, I sinned again, I went to bed with another man
Know the town won't understand, are you still gon' hold my hand?
Say mama, I broke the rules, gotta face these holy fools
It felt cool when they heard the news, guess I better give my sunday shoes
Oh mama, what's the use? We all saw what they done to you
You felt stares when they heard the truth
Say, felt stares when they heard the truth
Oh mama, we're not alone, don't know what they do at home
But everybody got a bag of bones, hey, oh we all got a bag of bones
[Pre-Chorus]
Altar shaking, walls are caving, yeah
Hold your blessings, I'm confessing, yeah
[Chorus]
Somebody say a prayer for me, cause papa didn't preach
And if he did, I'd still be wrong
And I've been down on both my knees, why don't you wanna see?
Why don't you wanna see? I'm a sinner like you
[Verse 2]
Father I testify, don't wanna tell another lie
So will you look me in the eye, or am I out of sight and out of mind?
Say father, I'm not ashamed, I got no one to blame
So I go naming names if all of us are just the same
[Pre-Chorus]
Altar shaking, walls are caving, yeah
Hold your blessings, I'm confessing yeah
[Chorus]
Somebody say a prayer for me, cause papa didn't preach
And if he did, I'd still be wrong
And I've been down on both my knees, why don't you wanna see?
Why don't you wanna see? I'm a sinner like you
[Breakdown]
A sinner like you
I'm just a sinner like you
Like you, I'm just a
I'm a sinner like you
[Bridge]
Should I go, should I stay? Are they ever gonna change?
Should we make our amends, just to hear them say amen?
If I run, run away, mama, would you be afraid?
No, when the stones start to fly, who gon' be by my side?
[Chorus]
Somebody say a prayer for me, cause papa didn't preach
And if he did, I'd still be wrong
And I've been down on both my knees, why don't you wanna see?
Why don't you wanna see? I'm a sinner like you
[Breakdown]
A sinner like you
I'm just a sinner like you
Like you, I'm just a
I'm a sinner like you
