Honest Wage

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
 You're throwin' him one hell of a party
 So I hang up and start shaking
 Thinking, "You never threw one for me"
 And I wish it was easier to kiss you on the mouth
 Like it is to work hard and earn an honest wage
 But you're not always fair to me
 Like I wish you would be
 He's the one who left home
 And I'm the one who stayed
 So I drove when I shouldn't
 But I'll 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
 And I wish it was easier to kiss you on the mouth
 Like it is to work hard and earn an honest wage
 But you're not always fair to me, no
 Like I wish you would be
 He's the one who left home
 I'm the one who stayed
 And I wish it was easier to kiss you on the mouth
 Like it is to work hard and earn an honest wage
 But you're not always fair to me
 Like I wish you would be
 He's the one who left home
 And I'm the one who stayed
 I wish it was easier to kiss you on the mouth
 Like it is to work hard and earn an honest wage
 But 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
 And I wish it was easier to kiss you on the mouth
 Like it is to work hard and earn an honest wage
 But you're not always fair to me, no
 Like I wish you would be
 He's the one who left home
 And I'm the one who stayed
 And I wish it was easier to kiss you on the mouth
 Like it is to work hard and earn an honest wage
 But you're not always fair to me
 Like I wish you would be
 He's the one who left home
 And I'm the one who stayed
 I just get so angry when
 You say you love him so
 I wanna be more like him
 I wanna know there's hope
