It's a sin, my darling, how I love you Because I know our love can never be It's a sin to keep this memory of you When silence proves that you've forgotten me The dream I built for us has tumbled Each promise broken like my heart It's a sin, my darling, how I love you So much in love and yet so far apart It's a sin to hide behind this heartache To make believe that I've found someone new It's a sin to say that I don't miss you When people know I'm still in love with you I'm sure you're happy with another Who shares the love I could not win Why pretend that I can't live without you When deep inside I know that it's a sin
