Born to lose, I've lived my life in vain Every dream has only brought me pain All my life, I've always been so blue Born to lose, and now I'm losing you Born to lose, oh it seems so hard to bear When I wake, and find that you're not there Oh, you've grown tired, and now you say we're through I'm born to lose, and now I'm losing you Born to lose, oh it seems so hard to bear When I wake, and find that you're not there When I wake, and find that you're not there Born to lose, I've lived my life in vain Lived my life in vain Every dream has only brought me pain Has only brought me pain All my life, I've always been so blue Been so blue Born to lose I'm born to lose And now I'm losing you I'm losing you Born to lose And now, Elton, I'm losing you I'm losing you
