Head Strong

I wake up and look at him across the room laying on the couch And wonder why he's not laying next to me... And then I remembered that we're mad at each other... #Oh. Let that go. Won't even look you in the eyes, kuz we got too much pride. Say baby I'm sorry and let that die Want nothing more than that body heat His arms wrapped around me, My breast beneath his cheek... But at what cost will you suffer defeat Let love triumph, and place pride beneath your feet... It's funny how I'm saying defeat, like I've lost a battle, like I couldn't be beat.. Stuck between my heart and my head, I have to let one prosper and kill the other one dead But when they're both relevant, how do you choose between your needs and your wants? Man this is too much, I need to roll up a blunt.. Take it to the face and smoke these questions away But what will that solve, kuz at the end of the day? He's still across the room And we're still mad at each other In his head I'm a and to me he's a mother***er Speaking only when necessary, nothing more, probably less Keepin quiet is really in both our best interests Kuz when words get spoken it's like blows being thrown And neither of us wants to come down from our throne See here goes that pride, why's it so hard to be humble? Like droppin apologies is really a fumble A technical foul perhaps, more or less This whole situation is really a mess... Two people living together but won't even talk In the back of my mind, "Maybe I should just walk..." ...away from my heart? And away from my love? Now tell me how that's rational, when we fit like gloves... So I guess that's it. That's my answer right there. It's way past time to stop playin fair Nobody can win when you play by these rules On the same team but fightin like fools If it's not worth walking away, then here I stay... And there I lay... Next to him... His arms wrapped around me, And my breast beneath his cheek....
