Lyrics
- Maybe it’s best that we’re thru
What was it leading us to?
You were pretending, this is just ending
Dreams that could never come true
You go your way in content
I’m trying hard to repent
Chorus
My sin was loving you
Not wisely but too well
Your sin was letting me and getting me in your spell
Our sin was following a love that could not be now
My sin is wanting you
though you’ve forgotten me
- I was entranced by your song
I lingered on much too long
How could I go then, we didn’t know then
We took the road that was wrong
We’ve left that road far behind
Still you keep haunting my mind
