The Loss

I cursed, I prayed
 I tried to go, but stayed
 I tried to show it
 Who was boss
 Ah but in the end
 I could not defend
 Against the loss
 Against the loss
 I tried, I cried
 I felt like I almost died
 There was a line
 I wouldn't cross
 So I grit my teeth
 And was crushed beneath
 Helpless against the loss
 Against the loss
 Every failure is a promise
 Of the final time
 Our victories cannot save us
 From the final crime
 It strips us of our dignity
 It strips us of our pride
 People look with sympathy
 At the one who died
 I yelled, I screamed
 I groped and hoped and dreamed
 And begged to be excused at any cost
 But it's all sour grapes
 "Cause none of us escapes
 From the loss
 From the loss
