Lyrics

Born to Lose

[Verse]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Verse 3]

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
