"It's A Sin" lyrics

[Olly Alexander:]
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

[Elton John:]
At school, they taught me how to be
So pure in thought and word and deed
They didn't quite succeed
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too

[Elton John & Olly Alexander (Olly Alexander) {Elton John}:]
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

[Olly Alexander (Elton John):]
Father, forgive me
I tried not to do it
Turned over a new leaf
Then tore right through it
(Whatever you taught me)
(I didn't believe it)
(Father, you fought me)
('Cause I didn't care)
And I still don't understand
Still don't understand, yeah

[Elton John (Olly Alexander):]
So I look back upon my life
Forever 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)

[Elton John & Olly Alexander (Olly Alexander):]
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a sin
Everything I've ever done (I've ever done)
Everything I ever do (I ever do)
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to
It's a sin

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
