A Battle Won

I drink coffee in the kitchen

As she slams the bedroom door

She had enough of me and she sure did let me know

The silence spoke out loud and clear

I heard a tear hit the floor from here

Oh, I can sure feel my stubborn ways



Oh, the things I do to prove I'm right

Break her heart just to watch her cry

Leave her stranded on an island all alone

I can't stand it when I'm wrong

But being right ain't worth the cost

Yeah, 'cause sometimes a battle won is a battle lost



You always tell me that you love me

With conviction in your eyes

You're my best friend, my biggest fan

And you're always on my side

And the more I sit here all alone

The more this sad disgrace runs through my bones

Cuts just deep enough to realize



Oh, the things I do to prove I'm right

Break her heart just to watch her cry

Leave her stranded on an island all alone

I can't stand it when I'm wrong

But being right ain't worth the cost

Yeah, 'cause sometimes a battle won is a battle lost



Nobody in the world ever really wants to lose

Yeah, and what's the point in winning if I can't win with you



Yeah, the things I do to prove I'm right

Break her heart just to watch her cry

Leave her stranded on an island all alone

I can't stand it when I'm wrong

But being right ain't worth the cost

Yeah, 'cause sometimes a battle won is a battle lost

Yeah, sometimes a battle won is a battle lost

Yeah, a battle lost
