HEADS YOU WIN,TAILS I LOSE

HEADS YOU WIN,TAILS I LOSE

(T. Beechey)



Heads you win,tails I lose

I'm back where I've been: lost and confused

Stranded,abandoned and sent away

The coin has landed once more your way

I gave it a shot and tried my best

But I guess I was not meant to progress

All that I did and all that it meant

Was forgotten and hid with mindless intent



You took my dream,shook it awake

Made everything seem senseless and fake

With just a word,each hope I had

Was rendered absurd,pointless,and bad

Tails you win,heads I lose

I don't know if I can recapture the muse

Stranded,abandoned and forced to leave

The coin has landed once more ill-conceived



Heads you win,tails I lose

I'm odd man again but it's hardly news

Stranded,abandoned and cast aside

The coin has landed once more on your side

You spun the wheel,I came up short

I made the deal,you sought to thwart

Each answer's a question,each question foretells

An unspoken lesson from where nothing dwells



What was the point? You knew from the start

I thought you'd anoint the whims of my heart

Instead,here I am facing who knows

My existence a sham even as your smile grows

Tails you win,heads I lose

Even before I begin,I've nothing to choose

Stranded,abandoned and left behind

The coin has landed once more so unkind
