[Verse 1 - sarcastic confidence, lazy cool delivery, reckless humour, slightly detached] Golden boy with a sinful grin Should've known better, let the devil in One bad choice turned into years Now I wash it down with liquor and beers Killed a man and lost my home Lost my family, wound up alone Best friend crying, couldn't look back Been running ever since that crack Uncle said "Kid, get your shit together" Lasted about a week, maybe less, whatever Blew a whole score for noble boy dick Turns out self-destruction's my specialty, bitch [Pre-Chorus - building tension, still sarcastic but getting more bitter] Everybody says it wasn't all my fault Everybody says I'm harder on myself Everybody says I'm worth a damn That's funny as hell [Chorus - anthemic, frustrated self-loathing, big and raw] LOSER Write it on my forehead, say it to my face LOSER I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you put me in my place LOSER Everybody loves the version that I give ’em on demand LOSER I’m just really good at making sure I don’t last [Verse 2 - sarcastic confidence, reckless humour, slightly more unhinged than Verse 1] Got real famous for the wrong damn thing Cheap pills, bruised knees, deepthroat king Never said no, never asked why Just another pretty slut getting passed around to die Powder in the bathroom, bloodshot eyes Three day blackout, wake up surprised Half these stories ain't even mine I was too fucked up at the time [Interlude - more spoken/sung, weary but still charismatic] Bought a farmhouse, bought some seeds Killed the tomatoes, fed the weeds Said I'd live simple, stay clean Ended up drunk in the dirt where the pumpkins should’ve been [Pre-Chorus - building again, more frustrated] Everybody says I need a fresh start Problem is I always bring my broken heart Pack my bags, change my name Still end up exactly the fucking same [Chorus - anthemic, raw, big gang vocal energy on the "LOSER" hook] LOSER Carve it on my forehead so I don't forget LOSER Every good thing I've touched is wrecked LOSER Everybody loves me till they know the truth LOSER If I stopped lying, I'd just disappoint you [Bridge - more intimate/confessional at the start, then emotional volatility] Got a girl from wine country Sweetest thing that ever happened to me Couldn't love her, couldn't explain Watched her walk away the same Now there's this big dumb beautiful bastard man Calls me family every now and then Says he loves me, says he means it too Makes me sick because it can't be true Keep saying we're just friends Said it once, I'll say it again Said it so much I almost buy it Fucked up thing is I know I'm lying [interlude] [Breakdown] Tried a rope Beam broke Tried a blade Dog howled Tried some poison by the sea Even death don't fucking want me! [Instrumental Break - dirty guitar solo, energetic but worn-down] [Verse 3 - sarcastic confidence returning, dark wit] Ohhhhh And the punchline keeps getting better Killed my monster years ago I killed the nightmare, put him in the ground Thought I'd be free, but he’s still hanging around [Building energy] Everybody says I should heal Everybody says love is real Everybody says I’m not too far gone But everybody’s wrong [Final Chorus - biggest and most anthemic, full emotional explosion] LOSER Yeah, write it on my forehead, big letters, nice and clear LOSER I’m a loser baby, come on and put me in the ground, my dear LOSER Everybody wants the version that I sell ’em in the mirror LOSER I’m just really good at making sure I disappear LOSER Ohhhh, no no no LOSER I'm a loser baby, why don't ya kill me?
