Million Dollar Loser

Lyrics

Woke with the sunrise, a brand new day's embrace

Felt something shift, couldn't quite put it in its place

Stumbled on a shadow, coffee painting my clean shirt

Just a typical Tuesday, adding to the constant hurt

Oh, I'm a million-dollar loser, crowned king of self-defeat

Luck's a cruel mistress, always kicking at my feet

Every silver lining's got a thundercloud of gray

Guess I'll keep on losing, come what may

Grabbed a lottery ticket, a flicker of pure gold

Checked those winning numbers, a story to be told

One digit shy, just a whisper from the prize

So close to glory, reflected in my eyes

Oh, I'm a million-dollar loser, crowned king of self-defeat

Luck's a cruel mistress, always kicking at my feet

Every silver lining's got a thundercloud of gray

Guess I'll keep on losing, come what may

Launched a grand idea, a business poised to bloom

The market swallowed fortunes, straight into the economic tomb

Invested in a "sure thing," whispered by a friend

Turns out "sure thing" means it's surely gonna end, again.

Met a charming stranger, thought my stars had finally spun

We laughed for hours, beneath a brand new sun

Next day's headlines screaming, "Fugitive on the run!"

My kind of true romance, before it's even begun.

Oh, I'm a million-dollar loser, crowned king of self-defeat

Luck's a cruel mistress, always kicking at my feet

Every silver lining's got a thundercloud of gray

Guess I'll keep on losing, come what may

They say that lightning never strikes the same place twice

For me, it's a bonfire, I'm just paying the steep price

A million-dollar loser, yeah, that's my honest plea

Anyone got a penny? I'll probably lose that, you see.
