Thought I was your champ of the world Now I'm a knight in dirty armor, without you, girl In the end, I'm on the losing end again Purple roses, the thoughts cut deep But this thrill of perservarence, smells so sweet I'm on the mend, and on the losing end again Can't pretend, I'm on the winning end again 'Cause everytime I stumble, I won't fall Flipped a finger to every know it all I can see my city, she stands tall In the end, I'm on the losing end again Softly spoken, but never said It's the poem that you said you never read Can't pretend, I'm on the losing end again Your lips are brutal like your velvet eyes Like the times that you told me you never lied Now and then, I'm on the losing end again Can't pretend, I'm on the winning end again 'Cause everytime I stumble, I won't fall Flipped a finger to every know it all A dinner with the vultures, most of all In the end, I'm on the losing end again 'Cause everytime I stumble, I won't fall I can see my city, she stands tall A dinner with the vultures, most of all In the end, I'm on the losing end again Make amends, I'm on the winning end again
