I Lose Too

You said I could never lose

You thought I won everything

But you are very wrong

With every battle that I fight

I get closer to losing the war

So don’t tell me that I never lose

Because I’m losing everything

I’m losing the grades I earned

I’m losing my friends I held so dear

And I’m losing my hold on life

And sooner than you would think

You’ll see my name in the paper

And on a brand new granite slab

Then you’ll finally know

That I can lose, just like you

But I lost more than a battle or two

I finally lost the war

So there.
