Learning While I Lose Lyrics

I′ve been tried and I've been true
But I don′t always know what to do
Senses reeling from a fall
Didn't see it coming at all

Yesterday's another day
I wish it′d gone another way
Now today I′m trying to see
Just what's ahead for me

I′ve been around a while
Bumbling through the streets
Always I'm hoping for good news
This time it ain′t my time but that's okay
I′m learning while I lose

Took a chance, it didn't work
Now I look like a stupid jerk
Hold your sides while you laugh
Watch my heart break in half

Dust my jacket and my shoes
Standing up and shuffling through
Go to sleep a broken man
Wake up and understand

I've been around a while
Hearing them all laugh
Well people, I′m glad I could amuse
This time won′t be my time but I'll be alright
I′m learning while I lose

Play to win or don't play at all
Take the game and don′t bring your ball
But I don't care what you say
I just wanna play

I′ve been around a while
Bumbling through the streets
And how easily I bruise
This time is not my time but that's just fine
I'm learning while I lose
