A Losing Song

They got me, and I didn't see it coming
They leveled me when I was out there funnin'
And I was so naïve
To ever have believed
They got me
And I should have seen it coming

They must have got a million-dollar deal
They must have taken all that they could steal
But the thing that kills the most
Is living with the ghost
Of myself when I was young
And I had love

It's so easy
It's so easy
To write a losing song

Why should I play the chords?
Why should I even make a sound?
I'm so sorry to anyone that cared
Don't let me be
The one
To let you down

It's so easy
It's so easy
To write a losing song

Well, there's still someone out there you can count on
He's hanging round the neck of every big shot
You can watch him climb
And though he's lost his mind
Look up to him
Because he got it right

It's so easy
It's so easy
To write a losing song
