Lose To Win

I've got no one to call my own

Nobody calls me on the phone, I've been disconnected

I've been evicted from my home

Name and address care of unknown, it's been redirected

Now the open sky's my limit, and the sun's my point of view

This time I had to lose to win

I walk down Peachtree Avenue

Nothing's the same since I lost you, it's to be expected

I never thought that I'd stoop quite so low

You had no choice but to up and go you felt so rejected

I crashed with the wheels still spinning, I had no overview

I just crawled out and walked away

Now I can't stop my mouth from grinning, and time is running thin

This time I had to lose to win

Do do do do do do ...

I know I should be feeling, a lot worse than I do

As past due payment for my sins

But I'm done with pain from kneeling, the sky's still colored blue

This time I had to lose to win

Do do do do do do ...
