Learning to Lose

9:00 o’clock in the mornin', a fall semester class
I couldn’t even concentrate, hell I barely even passed
You’d smile at me and you’d wave hello, then I’d just get weak
Can’t blame nobody but myself that we didn’t get to meet
It was like drivin' out to Vegas, but not win a thing
It’s like a brand new engagement without a diamond ring
It’s like wakin' up in the mornin', not knowin' where you’ve been
It’s like learnin' to lose all over again
I heard you moved to Houston, I’m stuck in Baton Rouge
Playin' in this cover band, tryin' not to sing the blues
I wake myself up dreamin' in the middle of the night
I wish I would’ve done somethin' more, hell I didn’t even try
It’s like drivin' out to Vegas, but not win a thing
It’s like a brand new engagement without a diamond ring
It’s like wakin' up in the mornin', not knowin' where you been
Like learnin' to lose all over again
I hate that you had to leave, I don’t know the circumstance
I wonder what it would be like, if I’d have given us a chance
Be like drivin' out to Vegas, done won everything
Be like a brand new engagement, with a big ol' diamond ring
Like wakin' up in the mornin', and rememberin' where you been
Never learnin' to lose, learninin' to lose
Never learnin' to lose all over again
