Britney, I'm sorry for the lies we told
We took you into our arms and then left you cold
Britney, I'm sorry for this cruel, cruel world
We sell the beauty but destroy the girl
Britney, I'm sorry for your broken heart
We stood aside and watched you fall apart
I'm sorry we told you fame would fill you up
And money moves the man, so drink the cup
I know love goes around the world we know
And you never see it coming back...
But I can see it coming back for you
Yes, coming back for you
Britney, I'm sorry for the stones we throw
We tear you down just so we can watch the show
Britney, I'm sorry for the words we say
We point the finger as you fall from grace
Britney, I do believe that love has come
Here for the broken
Here for the ones like us
I thought, "Wouldn't that be crazy if it was about Britney Spears?" ...and it is.
I've always enjoyed Bebo Norman's music and I think the heart behind this song is awesome. I recently watched a documentary on Britney and my heart went out to her. Check out the link above for the "story behind the song." I totally agree with Bebo:
"...I saw her story not as something to mock, but as a real-life tragedy that is desperate for redemption and hope—a story not so different from any of our stories. Take away all the lights and cameras, and it’s really just a narrative of a girl so clearly in need of love, so clearly in need of the redeeming love of our God."
Britney... hope is here.
