It's a sin a sin the way I love you
Because I know our love could never be
It's a sin to say that I don't miss you
When silence proves that you've forgotten me

The dream I built for us has tumbled
And each promise broken like my heart
Why pretend that I can't live without you
When deep inside I know that it's a sin
The dream I built for us...
