Sometimes You Lose Lyrics

Then with my answer

I felt very sure

That same conviction's

Not here anymore

Said with a shrug when

You told me the news

Sometimes you win

Sometimes you lose

Now I'm beginning

To reckon the cost

What I invested

And what I have lost

Was I too quick in

My answer to you

Sometimes you win

Sometimes you lose

Which one is wiser

My mind or my heart

Not always easy

To tell them apart

Both feel regret

For the words that I used

Sometimes you win

Sometimes you lose

She wanted some kind

Of reason to stay

I gave the answer

That pushed her away

Hating myself for

The phrase of a stooge

Sometimes you win

Sometimes you lose

Can't say I blame you

For choices you made

Had I done better

You might have stayed

You got your freedom

And I got the blues

Sometimes we win

Sometimes we lose
