Born to lose, I've lived my life in vain
Every dream has only brought me pain
All my life I've always been so blue
Born to lose, and now I'm losing you
Born to lose, it seems so hard to bear
How I long to always have you near
You've grown tired and now you say we're through
Born to lose, and now I'm losing you
Born to lose, my every hope is gone
It's so hard to face each empty dawn
You were all the happiness I knew
Born to lose, and now I'm losing you
Born to lose, and now I'm losing you
