The Loser
I don’t wanna waste my time
Holding onto something that ain’t right
My heart has been on cruise control
Heading for a crash at the end of the night
Maybe this is destiny girl
No one said that fate won’t bring you pain
Admit it
Things have changed
I’m giving up
I don’t wanna love you
My mind’s made up
I don’t wanna care
She’s been playing her games
Now I’m the loser
I knew it was a matter of time
‘Til I would lose her
The writing was on the wall
I guess I could have told her
She’s been messing around
And now it’s over
Maybe I’m the one to blame
I haven’t been around too much lately
I love when you pretend there’s nothing wrong
‘Cause you don’t have the guts to face me
Yes I’m sorry
But what’s done is done
The show has ended
The last note’s been sung
I’m gonna throw the fight
And it’ll be alright
Yeah I really need to let you slip away
The world is turning around
I think I’m West Coast bound
I’ll have my tickets bought by noon today
So have your fun
But your day will come
He will treat you just the same
I don’t wanna waste my time
Holding onto something that ain’t right
My heart has been on cruise control
Heading for a crash at the end of the night
Maybe this is destiny girl
No one said that fate won’t bring you pain
Admit it
Things have changed
I’m giving up
I don’t wanna love you
My mind’s made up
I don’t wanna care
She’s been playing her games
Now I’m the loser
I knew it was a matter of time
‘Til I would lose her
The writing was on the wall
I guess I could have told her
She’s been messing around
And now it’s over
Maybe I’m the one to blame
I haven’t been around too much lately
I love when you pretend there’s nothing wrong
‘Cause you don’t have the guts to face me
Yes I’m sorry
But what’s done is done
The show has ended
The last note’s been sung
I’m gonna throw the fight
And it’ll be alright
Yeah I really need to let you slip away
The world is turning around
I think I’m West Coast bound
I’ll have my tickets bought by noon today
So have your fun
But your day will come
He will treat you just the same
