[Lyric] Tears Always Win (Alicia Keys)

[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
