Years & Years – It’s a Sin Lyrics

When I look back upon my life
It’s always with a sense of shame
I’ve always been the one to blame

For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too

It’s a, it’s a, it’s a, it’s a sin
It’s a sin
Everything I’ve ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I’ve ever been
Everywhere I’m going to
It’s a sin

At school, they taught me how to be
So pure in thought and word and deed
They didn’t quite succeed, mmm

For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too

It’s a, it’s a, it’s a, it’s a sin
It’s a sin
Everything I’ve ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I’ve ever been
Everywhere I’m going to
It’s a sin

(Mmm)
(Mmm, aah)

So I look back upon my life
Forever with a sense of shame
I’ve always been the one to blame, mmm

For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too

It’s a, it’s a, it’s a, it’s a sin
It’s a sin
Everything I’ve ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I’ve ever been
Everywhere I’m going to
It’s a sin
