BOY GEORGE - Broken Spirit lyrics

I stand accused of loving you despite the crime

I must forgive to protect my broken heart

I see the vultures like dark angels as they swoop

But only God will ever really know the truth

If the Lord can forgive why can't you?

Though I know it ain't such an easy thing to do

Will you keep me in your prayers

'Cause I know the good Lord cares

If the Lord can forgive why can't you?

You call it evil, I disagree

So hard to face the darker parts of you and me

You point the finger and you cast the stone

But you have secrets and confessions of your own

If the Lord can forgive why can't you?

Though I know it ain't such an easy thing to do

Will you keep me in your prayers

'Cause I know the good Lord cares

If the Lord can forgive why can't you?

Broken spirit I know your name

So lift your head high I can feel your shame

Your mind is twisted with this crazy fear

But you're in my heart and

I'm gonna keep you there

Gonna keep you there

Gonna keep you there

Oh yeah

If the Lord can forgive why can't you?

Though I know it ain't such an easy thing to do

Will you keep me in your prayers

'Cause I know the good Lord cares

If the Lord can forgive why can't you?

If the Lord can forgive why can't you?

Though I know it ain't such an easy thing to do

Will you keep me in your prayers

'Cause I know the good Lord cares

If the Lord can forgive why can't you?

If the Lord can forgive why can't you?
