A Battle Won

(album: The Given - 2012)

[Verse 1:]
I drink coffee in the morning
As she slams the bedroom door
She had enough of me
She sure did let me know
Oh the silence spoke out loud and clear
Heard a tear hit the floor from here
Oh I can sure feel my stubborn ways

[Chorus:]
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
Being right ain't worth the cost
Yeah 'Cause sometimes a battle won is a battle lost

[Verse 2:]
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
It cuts just deep enough to realize

[Chorus]

Well nobody in the world ever really wants to lose
Yeah but what's the point in winning
If I can't win with you

[Chorus]

Yeah sometimes a battle won is a battle lost.
