New Song Draft: Little Loser

I liked her better when she needed me

I was her salvation

I gave her strength when she was weak

and like a puppy

she was always there

always so happy just to see me

and be with me anywhere

 

I guess that I thought that's how

it always would be

 

Chorus

oh, how I loved that little loser

what's that say?  What's that say?

oh, how I loved that little loser

what's that say?  What's that say…

about me?

 

 

I always thought I was the noble one

protecting her from trouble

and the tears that often come

I tried to share 

all of my lessons learned

I pointed out her failures

at each and every turn

 

and told myself I was

just doing it for her

 

Repeat chorus

 

and when she got so angry

I could not understand

where was her gratitude?

What did I do?

 

I miss her now through pain beyond repair

I will reap what I  have sown

BUt never say I didn't care

and what an irony for all to see

the largest of life lessons 

was the one she taught to me

 

I'm still trying to figure out

still trying to understand

 

Repeat Chorus (out)

 

How I loved that little loser

but people change, people change

and I was so willing to use her

people change, people change

and, in the end, I am the loser

what's that say?  Whats that say...

About me?
