Tug of War

[Verse 1]
I hoped the next time that I saw those eyes
Would be through a smoky haze in some bar late at night
But things don't always work out the way they do in your mind
I was gonna toast a drink to days gone by
And leave your questions hangin' without reply
But things don't always work out the way they do in your mind

[Chorus]
And I always buy another, though I know it'll hurt the next day
And my heart will always win the tug of war with my brain

[Verse 2]
I was wearing some old baggy red shirt
You said I looked beautiful and laughed when I cursed
The traffic light turned green, but I was frozen by your words
And we talked to friends that were no longer at homе
And I swear some part of me fеlt like it was coming home
But a liar's still a liar even when he's wearing new clothes

[Chorus]
And I always buy another, though I know it'll hurt the next day
But my heart ain't gonna win this tug of war
We both know well we've been here before
And my heart ain't gonna win this tug of war
With my brain
With my brain

[Outro]
And in another life, I might have let you hold
The heart that never really let you go
And maybe you were just what I needed to find
They say you don't know till you try
But things don't always work out the way they do in your mind
