I Can't Win
Unraveling Life's Tapestry: Julian Lopez's Poetic Odyssey
Lyrics
You said life was a film
You mentioned that life resembles a film
Let me cut up the pieces
Allow me to dissect and discard the fragments
And throw them out the door
Disposing of them by tossing them out the door
Cause let me say it was forgetful at best
Expressing that the experience was, at best, forgetful
Rum shines on the floor
Reflecting on spilled rum on the floor
Let me wipe up the mess you made
Cleaning up the mess you created
While you're alone
During your solitary moments
In the bathroom contemplating about life
In the bathroom, pondering about life
But I couldn't care less
Indicating a lack of concern on my part
Oh I
Oh, I
I cannot win
I find myself unable to succeed
Not as one of them
Not fitting in with others
I wouldn't know how to live
Uncertain how to navigate life
Oh I
Oh, I
I cannot exist
I cannot merely exist
Still I won't give in
Yet, I refuse to surrender
I will not be your friend
I will not become your friend
I guess I never said
Realizing I never expressed certain words
The words I meant to say
The intended words were left unspoken
In the moment
During that particular moment
You made me forget it
You caused me to forget them
I guess I never can
Admitting my incapacity to do so
I know you never will
Understanding you never will
Cause I waited
Because I waited, but you never reciprocated
And you never did
Oh, I
Oh I
I find myself unable to succeed
I cannot win
Not fitting in with others
Not as one of them
Uncertain how to navigate life
I wouldn't know how to live
Oh, I
Oh I
I cannot merely exist
I cannot exist
Yet, I refuse to surrender
Still I won't give in
I will not become your friend
I will not be your friend
