Title: Can’t Win For Losing
[Intro – soft, airy]
Yeah…
Why it always feel like this? (mmm)
No matter what I do… (nah for real)
I still lose… yeah…
(ad-libs: ohh… yeah… talk to ‘em…)
⸻
[Verse 1]
Every time I try to fix it, you break it again
Say you love me, but you treat me like I’m just a friend
I be holding all this weight, I can’t carry your sins
And I’m tired of pretending like we good in the end
You switch up like seasons, I don’t know what you on
One minute I’m your world, next minute I’m gone
I gave you all of me, you gave me halfway love
Now I’m stuck in my head like I ain’t enough
(ad-libs: ain’t enough… yeah… why you do me like that?)
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
I be trying, I be trying (trying…)
But it’s never right (never right)
Gave you chances back to back
You still cross the line
(ad-libs: every time… every time…)
⸻
[Chorus]
I can’t win for losing with you (with you)
No matter what I do, I lose (I lose)
Give you love, you turn it into pain
Now I’m crying in the rain again
I can’t win for losing, it’s true (it’s true)
I keep holding on to you (to you)
But you break me every single time
How you say you love me, then you lie?
(ad-libs: lie to me… yeah… I see it now…)
⸻
[Verse 2]
You had me looking crazy, had me questioning me
Like I’m the problem, but you the one deceiving
Late night texts, but you don’t ever reply
But you quick to come back when you see me move on, right?
I was solid, I was real, I was down from the start
You was playing both sides, I was playing my part
Now I’m done being soft, I’m protecting my peace
If loving you is war, then I’m choosing me
(ad-libs: choosing me… yeah… finally…)
⸻
[Rap Part – smooth, emotional]
Yeah, look—
I gave you loyalty, you gave me confusion
Turned my love story into an illusion
Kept it a hundred, you kept it a game
Now you mad ‘cause I ain’t feeling the same
I leveled up, now you watching me glow
You lost a real one, but you already know
I ain’t doubling back, I’m done with the pain
You had your chance, you won’t get it again
(ad-libs: nah… it’s over… yeah…)
⸻
[Bridge – vulnerable, soft]
I used to pray you’d change (change…)
But you stayed the same (same…)
Now I’m walking away
Even though it hurts me, babe…
(ad-libs: hurts me… yeah… let go…)
⸻
[Chorus – final, stronger]
I can’t win for losing with you (with you)
No matter what I do, I lose (I lose)
Gave you love, you turned it into pain
I won’t let you do me that way again
I can’t win for losing, it’s true (it’s true)
So I’m finally choosing me (choosing me)
You can keep your lies and games
I’m done losing just to love you, babe
(ad-libs: done now… yeah… I’m done… ohh…)
