Mea culpa

I’ve sinned out of pride
To have you all to myself
In just a quick glance
My fault!

I’ve sinned out of envy
To give myself to you
By giving you my life
My fault!

And then out of greed
Illuminated by the shine of your eyes
I saw your lips and felt so high
'Cause I was drinking fire

I’ve sinned out of laziness
When I found your arms
Cradle of my caresses
My fault!

Let those who’ve never sinned
Throw the first stone at me
Let those who’ve never loved
Deny me a prayer

I’ve sinned out of anger
Against you, against myself
Against the whole world
My fault!

I’ve sinned out of lust
Every night in your arms
But my soul was pure
My fault!

And then out of greed
I hid you deep in my heart
To better adore you with delight
Safe from the thieves

So you see,
I’ve sinned seven times
All because of you
My fault!

But one day
If you asked me, oh my love,
I’d do it all again
My fault! My fault!
