[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
If I could just hide
The sinner inside
And keep him denied
How sweet life would be
If I could be free
From the sinner in me
[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
I'll never be a saint
That's not a picture that your memory paints
Not renowned for my patience
I'm not renowned for my restraint
[Pre-Chorus 1: Dave Gahan]
But you're always around
You can always be found
To pick me up when I'm on the ground
[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
If I could just hide
The sinner inside
And keep him denied
How sweet life would be
If I could be free
From the sinner in me
[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
I'm still recovering
Still getting over all the suffering
More known for my anger
Than for any other thing
[Pre-Chorus 2: Dave Gahan]
But you've always tried
To be by my side
And catch my fall when I start to slide
[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
If I could just hide
The sinner inside
And keep him denied
How sweet life would be
If I could be free
From the sinner in me
[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
If I could just hide
The sinner inside
And keep him denied
How sweet life would be
If I could be free
From the sinner in me
[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
I'll never be a saint
That's not a picture that your memory paints
Not renowned for my patience
I'm not renowned for my restraint
[Pre-Chorus 1: Dave Gahan]
But you're always around
You can always be found
To pick me up when I'm on the ground
[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
If I could just hide
The sinner inside
And keep him denied
How sweet life would be
If I could be free
From the sinner in me
[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
I'm still recovering
Still getting over all the suffering
More known for my anger
Than for any other thing
[Pre-Chorus 2: Dave Gahan]
But you've always tried
To be by my side
And catch my fall when I start to slide
[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
