lyrics

Hey You, talking to you
You always said that the way was to be strong.
We, yeah we can see,
You push everybody around and you'll be wrong.
You lie and you spin, we're not taking it in
Everybody's listening to a Beautiful Loser, a Beautiful Loser

She, looked good to me,
She only acted herself, they put her down.
And now, it always happens somehow
What goes around is coming around and it's her turn.
You got to look to your own, before you cast that first stone,
And her only crime was to be a Beautiful Loser, a Beautiful Loser

You get the one chance, one chance for real
One turn around, yeah that's the deal
Don't be fooled by your head
Let your heart rule instead,
Your heart knows the way and can't let you down.
And if you play this game true
You'll always win when you lose

Look at him, the shape that he's in
He paid his life on the line, he's a hero
In the end, no one would be his friend
And how did it come down to that I just don't know
The world is too fast, I wanna slow down and last
And I'm always falling for a Beautiful Loser
