During LSR’s initial jam session in 2006, it was apparent that they all shared the same goals: intertwine all of their musical influences and views on life, love and death to emotionally connect and sonically communicate with their audience. The chemistry was instant as front man Justin Theriault (TERI-O) and guitarist David Harris inked two tracks in their first meeting.
Along with bassist Josh Masters and drummer Scott "Smalls" McCann, LoveSick Radio hit the ground running and hasn’t looked back. Playing more than 200 shows a year on their own, LSR held opening spots for Bon Jovi, Kid Rock and The Fray. The band has performed at the most buzzed about festivals and events, sharing the stage with the likes of David Cook, Justin Bieber, Blue October, White Tie Affair, Rooney, Three Days Grace, Hinder, Safety Suit and New Found Glory.
Even with a multitude of live shows, the band found time for two tours overseas to perform for our troops.
Although unsigned, LoveSick Radio received great airplay, landing in the top 50 pop charts with their single “Boys Don’t Matter.” LSR received multiple placements on several MTV shows (including “My Super Sweet Sixteen”) and MTV2 featured the band as one of its “Bands on the Rise.”
Thanks to LoveSick Radio’s road work and live shows, the band boasts a strong, loyal fan base. The band relocated to Las Vegas in 2012 to write and worked with producer Warren Huart (The Fray, Aerosmith) on new tracks for a forthcoming album. Their first single, “Numb Me Up,” was released in October 2013. You can follow the boys in the band on Twitter: @lovesickradio, @davidlsr, @justinnterio, @masterslsr, @smalllsr.

Loser of the Year
LoveSick Radio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never should have told you those 3 words.
When you said you wanted less I wanted more.
Isn't that the way it always works?
And why did I call you yesterday?
You never call me back.
I wonder if you wonder if I'm okay.
Scattered on my floor and torn in half.
And I hate myself for falling in this far,
Every minute wanna be where you are.
Put my fist through the wall cause it's so damn clear.
I'm holding on cause it's so hard to let go,
Driving by your house staring at your window.
When you close your blinds look down here,
And see the loser of the year.
So I hear your going away to school.
Saw your friend Stacy out last night.
I tried to play it off like it was cool,
But it was killing me inside.
Thought about how we crossed that line,
Sneaking out so we could be alone.
It all happened right at the wrong time.
All I have left are memories,
To remind me of what we'll never be.
And I hate myself for falling in this far,
Every minute wanna be where you are.
Put my fist through the wall cause it's so damn clear.
I'm holding on cause it's so hard to let go,
Driving by your house staring at your window.
When you close your blinds could you look down here,
At the loser of the year.
Should I move on?
Should I give up?
Did I give too much?
Was I not enough?
Either way,
I hate myself for falling in this far.
Holding on cause it's so hard to let go,
Outside your house standing at your window.
Before you close your eyes could you come down here
And kiss the loser of the year.
(I hate myself for falling in this far)
And kiss the loser of the year.
(Every minute wanna be where you are)
I'm just the loser of the year.
(I hate myself for falling in this far)
I'm the loser of the year.
(I hate myself for falling in this far)

Never should have walked you to the door,
I regret letting you leave
Never should have told you those 3 words.
I regret confessing my love for you
When you said you wanted less I wanted more.
I wanted more than you were willing to give
Isn't that the way it always works?
This is a typical story of unrequited love
And why did I call you yesterday?
I still want to talk to you, even though you don't respond
You never call me back.
I feel ignored and rejected by you
I wonder if you wonder if I'm okay.
I'm not okay, and I wish you cared enough to ask
And all I have left are photographs,
Memories are all that remain of our time together
Scattered on my floor and torn in half.
Our relationship ended in a messy, painful way
So I hear you're going away to school.
Life goes on for you, but I'm still stuck here
Saw your friend Stacy out last night.
I'm jealous and hurt that you're moving on without me
I tried to play it off like it was cool,
I don't want you to know how much I still care
But it was killing me inside.
I'm dying inside without you
Thought about how we crossed that line,
I regret getting involved with you in the first place
Sneaking out so we could be alone.
Our relationship was always hidden and secretive
It all happened right at the wrong time.
Our timing was never right for a lasting relationship
All I have left are memories,
Our relationship is over, but I can't forget you
To remind me of what we'll never be.
We had potential, but it was never realized
Should I move on?
I can't decide if I should let you go or keep hoping
Should I give up?
Maybe it's time to accept our relationship is over
Did I give too much?
I wonder if I invested more in our relationship than you did
Was I not enough?
I feel inadequate and wonder if I wasn't enough for you
Either way,
Regardless of what happens, I'm still hurting
I hate myself for falling in this far.
I regret how much I still love you
Holding on cause it's so hard to let go,
I'm struggling to move on from our relationship
Outside your house standing at your window.
I still want to be close to you, even if I can only watch from afar
Before you close your eyes could you come down here
I'm begging for your attention and affection
And kiss the loser of the year.
I feel like a complete failure, and I just want your love
(I hate myself for falling in this far)
My love for you is a source of self-hatred
And kiss the loser of the year.
Despite my flaws, I want you to love me
(Every minute wanna be where you are)
I'm constantly thinking about you and wishing to be with you
I'm just the loser of the year.
I feel like a pathetic loser for still loving you
(I hate myself for falling in this far)
My feelings for you are causing me pain and distress
I'm the loser of the year.
I've lost everything, including you, and I'm a complete failure
