If I could just hide    The sinner inside    And keep him denied    How sweet life would be    If I could be free    From the sinner in me       I'll never be a saint    That's not a picture that your memory paints    Not renowned for my patience    I'm not renowned for my restraint    But you're always around    You can always be found    To pick me up when I'm on the ground       If I could just hide    The sinner inside    And keep him denied    How sweet life would be    If I could be free    From the sinner in me       I'm still recovering    Still getting over all the suffering    More known for my anger    Than for any other thing    But you've always tried    To be by my side    And catch my fall when I start to slide       If I could just hide    The sinner inside    And keep him denied    How sweet life would be    If I could be free    From the sinner in me
