Wages Of Sin

When we fight, I wanna talk it out

You won't say nothin', nothin' at all

You just sit, there you won't open that pretty mouth

I think you like keeping my back up against the wall

Wages of sin you keep me payin'

Wages of sin for the wrongs that I've done and

Wages of sin you keep me payin'

Wages of sin, one by one

I walk in the apartment, there's clothes thrown all over the place

You're crouched in the corner with make-up runnin' down your face and

I don't wanna believe what my, what my heart keeps sayin'

You keep me on the line so you can keep me payin'

Wages of sin, yeah we keep payin'

Wages of sin for the wrongs that we've done and

Wages of sin, yeah we keep payin'

Wages of sin, that's how we have our fun

I remember when I was a little boy out where cottonwoods grow tall

Tryin' to make it home through the forest before the darkness falls

Baby, all the sounds I heard, even if they weren't real

I was runnin' down that broken path with the devil snappin' at my heels

And I tried so hard, so hard in every way

Swore some day I'd grow up and just throw it all away

Cried all the tears, baby, that I could cry

Stomached all my fears till they just rushed up inside

Darlin', I'm losing and it's a mean game

Still, I play on and on just the same

Wages of sin, yeah I keep payin'

Wages of sin for some wrongs that I've done and

Wages of sin, yeah I keep payin'

Wages of sin, one by one
