Born to Lose
BB Cooper Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I swear I'm even worse at hello's
And now I've finally brought you inside
I can't bring myself to let you go
Keep running
Do something
Time's coming
These voices
Keep calling
Say nothing
I just think I'm born to lose
I'm not what you needed
Don't pick up the pieces
You won't stop the bleeding I'm not what you needed
I always seem to let you down
And I know I'll never be enough
And now I've made my peace on the ground
I don't think that I can pick myself up
Keep running
Do something
Time's coming
I don't wanna face the truth
These voices Keep calling
Say nothing
I'm not what you needed
Don't pick up the pieces
I'm not what you needed
The BB Cooper song "Born To Lose" speaks to the feeling of being inadequate and unworthy, especially in regards to a romantic relationship. The first verse sets the stage for the song, with the singer admitting that they struggle with goodbyes and hellos, a possible sign of social anxiety or a difficulty in forming connections with others. Despite this, the singer has let someone in and admits they can't let them go, suggesting a vulnerability and dependence on this person.
The chorus of the song reinforces the idea that the singer is not good enough for their partner, with the repeated idea of "I'm not what you needed." The lines "Don't pick up the pieces / You won't stop the bleeding" suggest that the singer's flaws have caused emotional pain for their partner and that they are no longer capable of fixing the relationship.
The second verse continues this theme of inadequacy, with the singer acknowledging that they always let their partner down and will never be enough. The repeated lines of "Keep running / Do something / Time's coming / I don't wanna face the truth / These voices / Keep calling / Say nothing" speak to the singer's feelings of paralysis and inability to act to fix the situation.
Overall, "Born To Lose" is a poignant and introspective song about the struggles of insecurity and relationship issues.

I've never been too good at goodbyes
I struggle with saying goodbye to people
But I swear I'm even worse at hello's
I have a hard time starting relationships and meeting new people
And now I've finally brought you inside
I have let you into my life
I can't bring myself to let you go
I am afraid to lose you
Keep running
I try to avoid my problems
Do something
I want to take action but I am unsure what to do
Time's coming
I know I have to face my problems eventually
I don't wanna face the truth
I am scared to confront reality
These voices
The negative thoughts in my head
Keep calling
They persistently haunt me
Say nothing
The thoughts are unproductive and unhelpful
I just think I'm born to lose
I believe that I am destined to fail
I'm not what you needed
I understand that I am not the right person for you
Don't pick up the pieces
There is no hope in salvaging our relationship
You won't stop the bleeding I'm not what you needed
Continuing to pursue this relationship will only cause more pain
I always seem to let you down
I disappoint you often
And I know I'll never be enough
I understand that I cannot fulfill your needs
And now I've made my peace on the ground
I have surrendered and accepted my circumstances
I don't think that I can pick myself up
I am struggling to find the strength to move forward
