Sinner
Stereoside Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

CHORUS:

I'm a sinner so you cast me out
Changed the locks and don't come around, no
That's ok honey, I can do better, yeah...

Oh, how many ways have I thought of you
What you've done and what you mean to me

I might have sinned and now I'm searching for the truth
The answer lies beyond the face of contradicting you, yeah...

CHORUS

I pushed you away long before you had the chance
To take away the voice in me

And now it's clear there's nothing left for us to say
The answer lies beyond the pain of understanding you, yeah

CHORUS

CHORUS
CHORUS





Well I can do better... well I can do better... well I can do better...
