Intro – 25" piano + violin]
[Verse 1]
If loving you is forbidden↑
I’ll carve your name across the sky
Let angels keep their flawless hymns
I’d rather burn than say goodbye
If desire is a mortal crime
Lock my heart in your embrace
I’ll smile the day they sentence me
Guilty, with no trace of grace
[Chorus ↑ Chorus – soar]
If loving you is sin↑
Then I’ll gladly wear the crown↑
Tear my wings, let them fall like rain
I’d crash through heaven just to drown
If loving you is sin↑
Call me lost, I won’t repent
The sweetest sin I’ll ever know
Is loving you till my last breath is spent
[Piano solo – 35", delicate & soaring]
[Verse 2]
Preachers speak of sacred light
But your shadow feels like home
One kiss from you is holier
Than any prayer I’ve ever known
Damn me softly with your touch↑
Ruin me in silk and flame
I’ll walk into the fire barefoot
Whispering your name
[Chorus – bigger, higher↑]
If loving you is sin↑
I’ll wear it like a throne↑
Let saints and stars throw all their stones
I’ll stand in flames and call it home
If loving you is sin↑
Then damn me forevermore
The sweetest sin my soul will sing
Is loving you… and nothing more
[Violin solo – 45", heartbreaking high notes]
[Bridge – whispered then soaring]
They said love should save me↑
But you destroy me beautiful↑
If this fall is my damnation
I’ll thank you when I hit the ground
[Final Chorus – highest peak↑]
If loving you is sin↑
I’ll wear the scarlet proud↑
Let paradise slam shut its gates
Your arms are heaven now
If loving you is sin↑
Then I was born to fall↑
The sweetest sin, my only truth
Is loving you… through it all
[Outro – 40" fading violin + piano]
If loving you is wrong…
I never want to be right again.
