I feel it's kinda crazy

These covers may keep me warm at nightBut they can't take your place, 'cause they never gonna hold me tightAnd these pillows, may let me rest my headBut they can't say good night and tuck me in before I go to bed

Say, "Naw 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 youThese eyes put up a fightBut once again, these tears always winThese arms are wanting you'Cause these arms ain't holding youThese eyes put up a fightBut once again, these tears always win

These candles light up my room at nightBut they can't light the room the way you did when you walked inside, oh babyIf these walls could sing about everything they've witnessedOh, 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 (missing you)'Cause these lips ain't kissing you (kissing you)These eyes put up a fightBut once again, these tears always winThese arms are wanting you (wanting you)'Cause these arms ain't holding you (holding you)These eyes put up a fightBut once again, these tears always win

Tell me when the hell this loneliness is gonna be over (gonna be over)When everything in this room reminds me of youEvery time I think I'm getting closerThese tears drown me out and once again, I lose

'Cause these lips are missing you (missing you)'Cause these lips ain't kissing you (kissing you)I'll put up a fightBut once again, these tears always winThese arms are wanting you (wanting you)'Cause these arms ain't holding you (holding you)These eyes put up a fightBut once again, these tears always win

Crying like oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-ohThese eyes put up a fightBut once again, these tears always winCrying like oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-ohThese eyes put up a fightBut once again, these tears always win

These eyes put up a fightBut once again, these tears always win
