Lyrics
I Don't Always Win
I'd be a liar if I said that I'm alright
There's no denyin' that I'm better than I've been
But every hour that I'm alone it's still a fight
That I don't always win
No need to tell me what will happen if I lose
I know the hell that will await me once again
But it's a battle that's the reason for these blues
Cause I don't always win
No I don't always win
Such a sweet companion
When I feel abandoned
Keeps poisoning this canyon
Called my life
So where will you be when I go another round
Have you decided yet who's corner you'll be in
If it's a champion you think you might have found
I don't always win
Still that sweet companion
When I feel abandoned
Keeps poisoning this canyon
Called my life
Every victory
Has a cost
If I think I'm winning
I've already lost
I'd be a liar if I said that I'm alright
There's no denyin' that I'm better than I've been
But every hour that I'm alone it's still a fight
That I don't always win
No, I don't always win
