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 mem'ry 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 couldn't win.
Why pretend that I can't live without you
When deep inside I know that it's a sin...
