Wages Of Sin

When we fight and i wanna talk it out

You won't say nothing, nothing 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 paying

Wages of sin for wrongs that i've done

Wages of sin, you keep me paying

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 makeup running down your face

I don't wanna believe what my heart keeps saying

You keep me on the line so you can keep me paying

Wages of sin, we keep paying

Wages of sin for the wrongs that we've done

Wages of sin, we keep paying

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



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

Trying 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 running down that broken path with the devil snapping at my heels

I tried so hard, so hard in every way

Swore someday i'd grow up, just throw it all away

Cried all the tears, baby, that i could cry

Stomached all my fears till they came rushin' up inside

Darlin' i'm losin' and it's a mean game

Still i play on and on just the same

Wages of sin, i keep paying

Wages of sin for some wrong that i've done

Wages of sin, well i keep paying

Wages of sin, one by one
