Everything Happens To Me
Till Brönner Lyrics

Black cats creep across my path
I believe that bad luck is stalking me at every turn

Until I'm almost mad
I feel like I'm walking a thin line and any moment things may just fall apart

I must have 'roused the devil's wrath
I think I may have angered the universe and all that is in it

Cause all my luck is bad
I seem to be cursed with misfortune, so much so that it feels like all my luck is bad

I make a date for golf and you can bet your life it rains
Every time I plan something, something happens that ruins it

I try to give a party and the guy upstairs complains
I feel like I can't even do something as simple as throwing a party without having to deal with something going wrong

I guess I'll go through life
I feel resigned to the fact that this is how life will always be for me

Just catchin' colds and missin' trains
Always getting sick or missing important events, as if fate is playing a cruel game with me

Everything happens to me
No matter what I try to do or how careful I am, something always seems to go wrong

I never miss a thing
I'm aware of all the bad things that happen to me, and there's never been a time when I didn't feel their impact

I've had the measles and the mumps
I've already had to deal with common mishaps and illnesses that can happen to anyone

And every time I play an ace
Even when I think I have an advantage, something inevitably happens that causes me to lose it

My partner always trumps
Someone else always comes in and takes away what I thought was mine

Guess I'm just a fool who never looks before he jumps
I'm aware that I'm not very careful and it always leads to negative consequences

At first my heart thought you could break this jinx for me
I hoped that by falling in love, my luck would finally turn around

That love would turn the trick to end despair
I believed that if I found happiness in love, then all my other misfortunes would fade away

But now I just can't fool this head that thinks for me
Unfortunately, my thoughts and feelings are not enough to turn my fortunes around, no matter how much I hoped they would

I've mortgaged all my castles in the air
I've put all my hopes and dreams into finding a solution, and now they seem to have all been destroyed

I've telegraphed and phoned
I've tried every method of communication available to me to try and make things better

I send an 'Airmail Special' too
I even went to the lengths of spending extra money to try and get your attention

Your answer was 'Goodbye'
Unfortunately, the response I got wasn't what I was hoping for and only added to my feelings of bad luck

And there was even postage due
To add insult to injury, I also had to pay extra for the privilege of receiving this negative response

I fell in love just once
Despite all the misfortunes in my life, I was able to find love once

And then it had to be with you
But it still wasn't enough to turn my luck around and convince you to stay by my side
