Loser

I treated you like you came with directions

I thought there were rules to how love went

And I thought there were pieces to the game

And moves I had to make

To make sure that it would work

I knew that I was gonna win the prize

I knew first place would be all mine

I was so wrong thinking I was right

That it blurred my sight

'cause I missed all the warnings

Acting like your opponent

When all you really wanted

Was someone to fall in love with

I guess I'm the loser

And I know it's all my fault

'cause I've played the games

And I guess that's how I lost

'cause I was so busy workin my strategies

When all you wanted was me

And now it's all over

'cause I've lost your heart to his

And I'm the loser

See I've tried so hard to be perfect

Somehow I missed the real focus

I turned love into a test

Trying to prove I am the best

Guess I missed the whole purpose

I didn't know all that I was doin

Swear I didn't know all that I was losin

I was just trying to get things right

Now I'm out your life

And I miss all the warnings

Acting like your opponent

When all you really wanted

Was someone to fall in love with

(Refrão)

I just wish you would've stopped and told me so

Just wish you would've said... baby you don't have to try so hard

If I had known

To drop my guard

There ain't no way I'd ever let things get this far
