I've been waiting in the dark, searching for a light
Looking for a person to set things right
Well it's been a couple years since I've been like this
My souls been battered, and my hearts been stitched
What can I do, I was born to lose
I'm up in the night and I just can't sleep
There's something inside that's bothering me
Nothing in this world can save me or you
From the demons that are hiding inside our truths
What can I do? I was born to lose
I feel like running away from here
To a place where no one lives in fear
Where the cops don't shoot and the buildings don't burn
Where if you listen real close you can hear the world turn
Somebody's gotta wake me up tomorrow
But I feel like I'm drowning in all my sorrow
Don't you know I'm gonna be there for you
Even though
I know
I was born to lose
Yes I was born to lose
Yeah we were born to lose
Mama we were born to lose
Why were we born to lose?
