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. 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. 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. (x5) 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. I just get so angry when You say you love him so, I wanna be more like him; I wanna know there's hope.
