A Battle Won

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

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
But being right ain't worth the cost
Yeah 'cause sometimes a battle won is a battle lost

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

Oh that 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
But being right ain't worth the cost
Yeah 'cause sometimes a battle won is a battle lost

Nobody in the world ever really wants to lose
Yet what's the point in winning
If I can't win with you

Yeah 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
But being right ain't worth the cost
Yeah 'cause sometimes a battle won is a battle lost

Yeah sometimes a battle won is a battle lost
Yeah a battle lost
