Alicia Keys — Tears Always Win

[Intro] Check it out It feels kinda crazy [Verse 1] These covers, may keep me warm at night But they can't take your place 'Cause they're 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 [Pre-Chorus] Saying nah, 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 [Verse 2] These candles light up my room at night But they can't light the room the way you did When you walked inside, nah baby If these walls could sing about everything they’ve witnessed It'd be a sad, sad song And it'd probably sound something like this [Pre-Chorus] Saying nah, 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 (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 [Bridge] 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 dry me out, and once again, I lose [Chorus] These lips are missing you (Missing you) Cause these lips ain't kissing you (Kissing you) I 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 [Outro] 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 These eyes put up a fight But once again, these tears always win
