Name: Beautiful Loser
Duration: P00H03M16S
Description: Yeah, the timeless singer-songwriter song just isn't my thing. Every time I try to do that something else comes out. But I did stick to just 4 chords. I started thinking about an old friend and I figured I'd write a song about her and it would be simple= but then it wasn't. Go figure. Van Morrison it definitely ain't! ...So I'll accept probation for this one.

lyrics

If only you'd had the chance
You'd outshine the sun, or so you said
Glamour's in the ruins
of a life that never was
Now you’ve sold your soul to faith and hope
Surrendered to that slippery slope - oh, no
Alluring little victim
All tied up with velvet rope

Beautiful loser
Waiting for the world to rescue you
Beautiful loser
It's better to lose than face the ugly truth

Perpetual potential
Is all you ever want to be- oh, no
The meaning’s nonessential
What Could Be’s always greater than What Is
It’s easier not to try – when you’ve failed yourself
It’s all a lie

Beautiful loser
Waiting for the world to rescue you
Beautiful loser
It's better to lose than face the ugly truth

Always asking for my help
But you never take my hand
Why you love that desolation
I can never understand

Beautiful loser
Waiting for the world to rescue you
Beautiful loser
It's better to lose than face the ugly truth
