Tears Always Win lyrics

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 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

[Chorus:]

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 they 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

[Chorus:]

Tell me when the hell this loneliness is gonna be over

When everything in this room reminds me of you

Everytime I think, I'm getting closer

Cause tears drown me out, once again I lose

These lips are missing you

These lips ain't kissing you

I put up a fight

But once again these tears always win

Crying like oh oh...

These eyes put up a fight

But once again these tears always win

Crying like 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
