A lost cause By: John Oates

Love is something we all fight for
But not me, I don’t fight anymore

I give up, when competition comes my way
Because I know the other guy is better, there is nothing I could say

Everyone tells me to try
I did, and now I cry

Why did I ever think that I had a chance with her
When I know that she’ll just end up being with another

It was pointless to believe in me
A foolish man is all you’ll ever see

I am punished for my foolishness
Now I am left with loneliness

I only think of the negative effects it will do
I am sorry for ever thinking that I had a chance with you

Aww, thats really sad. But like bloodyrose said, youll find someone. So keep your head up, be yourself and the right person will come to you. Like i say,if something is meant to be, adventually it will. Smiley
