Loser

I lowered my standards for you
A 10 reaching down to a 2
You weren't misunderstood
Not some prodigal godsend
Playing video games in your room

And I wish I would've listened to my mom
And my friends who knew it all along
Every time I was talking
You'd wait with your jaw clenched
The last word or nothing at all

So imagine my regret
You went so low
And then you left me like a fool

Maybe I'm stupid
The levels I stooped
Just to lose out to a loser like you
How did you do it?
Oh, you're so cool
Must have been easy  heartbreaker like you

I let a loser in, I let a loser win

And I sit here so mad at myself
Built you up and neglected my health
Wrote up all those emails that got you that big deal
And you were so proud of yourself

Now I'm the one who's crying
Over all your little lies
Somehow I'm the one who's left behind
I was doing your laundry
While you're having sex on
Some other girl's white linen sheets

Maybe I'm stupid
The levels I stooped
Just to lose out to a loser like you
How did you do it?
Oh, you're so cool
Must have been easy  heartbreaker like you

I let a loser in, I let a loser win
I let a loser in, I let a loser win
