[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

[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: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
But you're always around
You can always be found
To pick me up when I'm on the ground

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

[Pre-Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
But you've always tried
To be by my side
And catch my fall when I start to slide

[Interlude: Dave Gahan]
"Yeah!"
"Hey!"

[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
