"Losing End Again" lyrics

Thought I was your champ of the world
Now I'm a knight in dirty armor, without you, girl
In the end, I'm on the losing end again
Purple roses, the thoughts cut deep
But this thrill of perservarence, smells so sweet
I'm on the mend, and on the losing end again
Can't pretend, I'm on the winning end again

'Cause everytime I stumble, I won't fall
Flipped a finger to every know it all
I can see my city, she stands tall
In the end, I'm on the losing end again

Softly spoken, but never said
It's the poem that you said you never read
Can't pretend, I'm on the losing end again
Your lips are brutal like your velvet eyes
Like the times that you told me you never lied
Now and then, I'm on the losing end again
Can't pretend, I'm on the winning end again

'Cause everytime I stumble, I won't fall
Flipped a finger to every know it all
A dinner with the vultures, most of all
In the end, I'm on the losing end again

'Cause everytime I stumble, I won't fall
I can see my city, she stands tall
A dinner with the vultures, most of all
In the end, I'm on the losing end again
Make amends, I'm on the winning end again
