tenebre - it's a sin lyrics

[pet shop boys cover]

when i look back upon my life
it's always with a sense of shame
i've always been the one to blame
for everything i long to do
no matter when or where or who
has one thing in common, too

it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
it's a sin
everything i've ever done
everything i ever do
every place i've ever been
everywhere i'm going to
it's a sin

at school they taught me how to be
so pure in thought and word and deed
they didn't quite succeed
for everything i long to do
no matter when or where or who
has one thing in common, too

it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
it's a sin
everything i've ever done
everything i ever do
every place i've ever been
everywhere i'm going to
it's a sin

father, forgive me, i tried not to do it
turned over a new leaf, then tore right through it
whatever you taught me, i didn't believe it
father, you fought me, 'cause i didn't care
and i still don't understand

so i look back upon my life
forever with a sense of shame
i've always been the one to blame
for everything i long to do
no matter when or where or who
has one thing in common, too

it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
it's a sin
everything i've ever done
everything i ever do
every place i've ever been
everywhere i'm going to - it's a sin
it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
