Tears Always Win

Lyrics

 I feel it's kinda crazy
 These covers may keep me warm at night
 But they can't take your place, 'cause they never gonna hold me tight
 And these pillows, may let me rest my head
 But they can't say good night and tuck me in before I go to bed
 Say, "Naw baby girl, you're better off" that's what I'm telling myself
 (Over and over)
 But I'm lying to myself 'cause I know I don't want nobody else
 These lips are missing you
 'Cause these lips ain't kissing you
 These eyes put up a fight
 But once again, these tears always win
 These arms are wanting you
 'Cause these arms ain't holding you
 These eyes put up a fight
 But once again, these tears always win
 These candles light up my room at night
 But they can't light the room the way you did when you walked inside, oh baby
 If these walls could sing about everything they've witnessed
 Oh, it'd be a sad, sad song, and it'll probably sound something like this
 Say, "Now baby girl, you're better off," that's what I'm telling myself
 (Over and over)
 But I'm lying to myself 'cause I know I don't want nobody else
 'Cause these lips are missing you (missing you)
 'Cause these lips ain't kissing you (kissing you)
 These eyes put up a fight
 But once again, these tears always win
 These arms are wanting you (wanting you)
 'Cause these arms ain't holding you (holding you)
 These eyes put up a fight
 But once again, these tears always win
 Tell me when the hell this loneliness is gonna be over (gonna be over)
 When everything in this room reminds me of you
 Every time I think I'm getting closer
 These tears drown me out and once again, I lose
 'Cause these lips are missing you (missing you)
 'Cause these lips ain't kissing you (kissing you)
 I'll put up a fight
 But once again, these tears always win
 These arms are wanting you (wanting you)
 'Cause these arms ain't holding you (holding you)
 These eyes put up a fight
 But once again, these tears always win
 Crying like oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
 These eyes put up a fight
 But once again, these tears always win
 Crying like oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
 These eyes put up a fight
 But once again, these tears always win
 These eyes put up a fight
 But once again, these tears always win
