lyrics

never gonna get ahead livin' this way
always gonna be a broken man
livin' with one foot in a cold grave
makin' a mess because i can

still i don't know where i'd be
if i was anybody other than me
i could guess and estimate
but bein' this way was always my fate
one day i will rectify
'til then in the bed i made shall i lie
paralyzed by my own mind

'cuz i was born to lose
never mine to choose
prisoner on the loose
i was born to lose

no where to run, nobody else to blame
just the smokin' gun in my hand
pulled the trigger when i put it up to my brain
now i'll never understand

why it is, this sentiment
that i can't appreciate the time i spent
buildin' towers up to the sky
so i could see everything with my own two eyes
one day i will rectify
everything i never fully realized
'til then i'm just burnin' time

'cuz i was born to lose
never mine to choose
prisoner on the loose
i was born to lose
