Lyrics

I'd Rather Lose

[Verse 1]

I hate looking at my phone

But it's all that I do

What do I need that I can't get from you?

Seems like you're never off the clock

Hands at ten and two

Driving through this world like someone's after you

[Chorus]

I'd rather lose

I'd rather lose

If the only way to win

Is by breaking all the rules

I'd rather lose

I'd rather lose

If the only way to win

Is by breaking all the rules

I'd rather lose

[Verse 2]

Every picture that I take

Every word that I say

Ends up a footnote on my resume

Are you happy with your life?

Am I happy with mine?

Where is the innocence we hid behind?

And who were those kids who knew where to draw the line?

[Chorus]

I'd rather lose

I'd rather lose

If the only way to win

Is by breaking all the rules

I'd rather lose

I'd rather lose

If the only way to win

Is by breaking all the rules

I'd rather lose

[Bridge]

We only get one chance in this life

And I won't spend it playing with you

Some people roll the dice and some people doctor the truth

[Chorus]

I'd rather lose

I'd rather lose

If the only way to win

Is by breaking all the rules

I'd rather lose

I'd rather lose

If the only way to win

Is by breaking all the rules

I'd rather lose

Oh, I'd rather lose
