Honest Wage Lyrics

When you called, it was loud, I got angry
I was everything but sober
I said things that were ruthless, and I meant 'em
But you told me to come over
You say he's in town, and you're crying
And you're throwing him one hell of a party
So I hang up and start shaking
Thinking you never threw one for me
I wish it was easier to kiss you on the mouth
Like it is to work hard and earn an honest wage
You're not always fair to me, like I wish you would be
He's the one who left home, I'm the one who stayed
So I drove when I shouldn't, but I make it
I'm feeling alright
You walk out, I'm a mess, you look perfect
I figured you might
Next thing I know, I'm exploding
And everything feels awful and wrong
And he's there right beside you
But the music inside is our song
I wish it was easier to kiss you on the mouth
Like it is to work hard and earn an honest wage
You're not always fair to me, like I wish you would be
He's the one who left home, I'm the one who stayed
(Repeat chorus a few times)
I just get so angry when you say you love us both
I wanna be more like him, I wanna know there's hope
