Tears Always Win
Alicia Keys · Girl On Fire [2012]
Check it out
It feels 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 goodnight
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
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
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
Tell me when the hell this loneliness is 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
Cause these lips ain't kissing you
I put up a fight
But once again these tears always win
These arms are wanting you
These arms ain't 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
It feels 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 goodnight
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
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

These eyes put up a fight
But once again these tears always win
