It Was A Sin
The Revivalists Lyrics

I believe it was a sin
Oh, to do you in the way I did
I took out more than I put in
I got fat while you stayed thin
But I came here tonight, if you wanna start a fight
We can get loaded on the things that I can't change
Yeah, I'm out here all night so if you want to start a fight
We can get loaded on the things that I can't change

I believe it was a sin
To do you in the way I did you in
I couldn't stop it coming from afar
And lost the keys to the getaway car
And every now and then I'm in this place
It's hell living when I need your face
Don't hide, don't hide, don't hide from me

Don't hide, don't hide, don't hide, don't hide from me
Don't hide, don't hide, don't hide, don't hide from me
Don't hide, don't hide, don't hide, don't hide from me
Don't hide, don't hide, don't hide from me

I believe it was a sin
To do you in the way I did you in
I couldn't stop it coming from afar
And lost the keys to the getaway car
Every now and then I'm in this place
It's hell living when I need your face
Don't hide, don't hide, don't hide from me
Don't hide, don't hide your face
Don't hide

Don't hide
Don't hide

The lyrics of "It Was A Sin" by The Revivalists talks about the guilt and regret of a person for doing the wrong thing to someone they love. The singer is confessing that it was a sin to treat their loved one in a bad way and wishes they could change what they did. However, they acknowledge that they cannot change the past and the only thing left to do is to seek redemption through drinking and fighting. The line "And lost the keys to the getaway car" implies that they did something extreme to cause harm to the loved one but they couldn't escape the consequences. The repeated line "Don't hide, don't hide, don't hide from me" at the end could either be the singer asking the loved one not to run away or it could be a message to themselves not to hide from their own feelings of guilt and remorse.

I believe it was a sin, do you in the way I did you in?
I know I did wrong by you and hurt you in a way that was immoral.

I couldn't stop it coming from afar
I couldn't prevent the negativity and bad choices from happening, it was out of my control.

And lost the keys to the getaway car
I lost the ability to escape and fix what I had done wrong.

And every now and then I'm in this place
I still find myself in situations where I regret what I've done.

It's hell living when I need your face
Life is difficult without the support and presence of the person I hurt.

Don't hide, don't hide, don't hide from me
Don't ignore me or avoid me, even though what I did was wrong.

I believe it was a sin, to do you in the way I did
I recognize that my actions were immoral and hurtful towards you.

I took out more than I put in
I gained more from the situation than you did, even though it was at your expense.

I got fat while you stayed thin
I thrived and benefited from our relationship while you suffered the consequences.

But I came here tonight, if you wanna start a fight
I am facing my mistakes and ready to confront any hard feelings you may have towards me.

We can get loaded on the things that I can't change
We can drink and try to distract ourselves from the fact that I can't undo the damage I've done.

Yeah, I'm out here all night, so if you want to start a fight
I am willing to stay and hear you out, even if it means conflict and tension.

Don't hide, don't hide, don't hide from me
I am pleading with you to not run away or avoid me, and to face our problems head on.

Don't hide your face, don't hide
Don't be ashamed or hide from me because of my mistakes, I still care about you.

Don't hide
Please, don't hide from me, even though what I did was wrong.
