Lyrics

[Verse 1] When we fight and 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 keepin' my back up against the wall [Chorus] Wages of sin, you keep me payin' Wages of sin for the wrongs that I've done Wages of sin, you keep me payin' Wages of sin, one by one [Verse 2] I walk in the apartment, there's clothes thrown all over the place You're crouched in the corner with makeup runnin' down your face I don't wanna believe what my, what my heart keeps sayin' You keep me on the line, so you can keep me payin' [Chorus] Wages of sin, we keep payin' Wages of sin for the wrongs that we've done Wages of sin, yeah, we keep payin' Wages of sin, that's how we have our fun Ah [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] I remember when I was a little boy out, out where the 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 [Pre-Chorus] I tried so hard, so hard in every way Swore someday I'd grow up and just throw it all away Cried all the tears, baby, that I could cry Stomached all my fear 'til they came rushin' up inside Darlin', I'm losin' and it's a mean game Still I play on and on just the same [Chorus] Wages of sin, yeah, I keep payin' Wages of sin for some wrong that I've done Wages of sin, well, I keep payin' Wages of sin, one by one [Outro] Ah
