It's not about a sinner, it's not about a saint
It's not about forgiveness, it's about the way that things are
It's not about hurt feelings, it's not about the heart
It's not about misgivings, it's about the way things are
It's the weapon that you're holdin' that you can't put down
It's you taking out you're vengeance, but it's coming around
And it's pointed back at you, you know you're blocking your view
And I can't, 'cause I won't, no, I won't let this ship go down
It's not about resentment, it's not about abuse
It's not about confession, it's about the thing that's killing you
It's the weapon that you're holdin' that you can't put down
It's you taking out you're vengeance, but it's coming around
And it's pointed back at you, you know you're blocking your view
And I can't, 'cause I won't, no, I won't let this ship go down
There's a sea of open water where your heart can sail
Don't anchor to the grudge, there's nothing for you there
And it's gonna destroy you, it's gonna destroy you if you don't go
It's the weapon that you're holdin' that you can't put down
It's you taking out you're vengeance, but it's coming around
And it's pointed back at you, you know you're blocking your view
And I can't, 'cause I won't, no, I won't let this ship go down
