Wages of sin

When we fight and I wanna talk it outYou won't say nothing, nothing at allYou just sit there, you won't open that pretty mouthI think you like keeping my back up against the wallWages of sin, you keep me payingWages of sin for wrongs that I've doneWages of sin, you keep me payingWages of sin, one by oneI walk in the apartment, there's clothes thrown all over the placeYou're crouched in the corner with makeup running down your faceI don't wanna believe what my heart keeps sayingYou keep me on the line so you can keep me payingWages of sin, we keep payingWages of sin for the wrongs that we've doneWages of sin, we keep payingWages of sin, that's how we have our funI remember when I was a little boy out where the cottonwoods grow tallTrying to make it home through the forest before the darkness fallsBaby all the sounds I heard, even if they weren't realI was running down that broken path with the devil snapping at my heelsI tried so hard, so hard in every waySwore someday I'd grow up, just throw it all awayCried all the tears, baby, that I could cryStomached all my fears till they came rushin' up insideDarlin' I'm losin' and it's a mean gameStill I play on and on just the sameWages of sin, I keep payingWages of sin for some wrong that I've doneWages of sin, well I keep payingWages of sin, one by one
