Maybe I'm just a loser
And maybe I'm bound to lose
Maybe fate is set in place
Maybe life is all a rouse
Maybe the poor stay poor
Maybe the privileged get it all
Maybe my skin is my biggest limit
Maybe myself is my biggest flaw
Maybe I'm just a loser
Maybe I'm bound to lose
Maybe these thoughts and degradations
Are maybe my sad truth
Maybe I'm stuck
Maybe I'm deluded
Maybe I'm sad
Maybe I'm down on luck
Maybe I need to knock it down a puck
The dreams that I point sky high
Maybe it's because I'm incapable
Or just too lazy to try to fly
Maybe I'm a loser.
I'm bound to lose.
Maybe I'll remember my dreams
After they leave me pathetic and bruised
Maybe dreams are for sleep
Maybe I like to sleep too much
Maybe they're all right
Or perhaps, I'm the fool that listens too much
Maybe I need to speak
Maybe I need to do
Maybe I shouldn't wait
Because passive people don't get much
Maybe.
Maybe I'm a loser
Maybe.
Maybe I'm bound to lose
Maybe.
Maybe life will give me a bitter kiss goodnight
Maybe.
Maybe my dreams remain shining under dark lights
Maybe I maybe too much.
But
What if I'm a loser?
Suppose I'm bound to lose?
Hmm
What to do?
Maybe stop thinking like a loser
Maybe you won't lose
A nice thought indeed
I'll maybe on it some more
Maybe later, when I might realize
I know that the future is unsure
Maybe
I won't lose
Maybe
Maybe that's the thought of a fool.
