Lyrics Daniel Johnston

Daniel Johnston

I Lose

She invited me to a pity party

Every hour everyone was making fun of me

I told her it really didn’t matter

You can’t imagine what it’s done to my personality

I don’t know where she should go, but I lose

Though I tried, like a lullaby, I lose

Once I saw her in a crazy dream

She was laughing, I looked the other way

Then I find that she unwinds, she puts me down behind

my back

Everyone seems to have a love but me, it’s what I lack

I’ve been denied the hurt inside, I lose

Though she was barely a friend of mine, I lose

I got left out of the “in” crowd

They speak as if I was there

They say the cruelest things, I seen their type

A bunch of buttwipes that rule

Don’t make sense, it’s really strange, I lose

Though I try, there’s no sense giving up, I lose

I walk the second mile, there’s no one there, I lose

I pick up the pieces of my broken dream, I lose

Everyone had their fun, I lose

Yet she was a one of them from the beginning

How am I to carry on, there’s no help given

Then I realize it’s all reoccurrence

What they’re thinking, their mind is a blur

I seen the future, and I ain’t even there, I lose

I see it all, and it’s really, the same old thing, I

lose

They think they’re smart, all huddled together, I lose

One more time, I try to make it, I lose

I lose, I lose

Tell me about it, darlin’, now
