Poor Loser
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Why did you have to take my heart and break it
Why did you run away with someone new
Everybody know's I'm strong but I just can't take it
'Cause I'm a poor loser when it comes to losing you.
If I were a king and I lost my riches
I know that it wouldn't break my heart in two
Now my hearts in little bitty pieces
'Cause I'm a poor loser when it comes to losing you.
Many people lose, some are winners
So I'm left to face this world alone
This is not a game for beginners
But you were the very first love I've ever known.
I know I shouldn't let you see me crying
But I feel so bad that I don't know what to do
I guess I'll hide my tears and keep on trying
'Cause I'm a poor loser when it comes to losing you.
Many people lose, some are winners
So I'm left to face this world alone
This is not a game for beginners
But you were the very first love I've ever known.
I know I shouldn't let you see me crying
But I feel so bad that I don't know what to do
I guess I'll hide my tears and keep on trying
'Cause I'm a poor loser when it comes to losing you.
Yes, I'm a poor loser when it comes to losing you.
Well, I'm a poor loser when it comes to losing you...
