[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

[Interlude]

[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

[Interlude]
[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
I'm still recovering
Still getting over all the suffering
More known for my anger
Than for any other thing
