Can’t Win Lyrics by PUP

The Dream Is Over

2016

[Verse 1]
I've been blessed with shit luck
There are some things that'll never change
I've been strung out and fed up with the strain
I get a little more nervous every day

[Pre-Chorus]
I just wanna be somethin'
Never thought I'd be nothin' at all

[Chorus]
And it feels like I can't win
I'm growin' up, and I'm givin' in
And it's startin' to hurt
And it feels like I can't win
I couldn't wait to be alone again
And I'm getting worse

[Verse 2]
You say I never try, but you know I do
I couldn't live with my 9 to 5
And I'll regret what I did to you my whole life
No matter what I do, I can never get anything right

[Pre-Chorus]
I just wanna be somethin'
Never thought I'd be nothin' at all

[Chorus]
And it feels like I can't win
I'm growin' up, and I'm givin' in
And it's startin' to hurt
And it feels like I can't win
I couldn't wait to be alone again
And I'm getting worse
I might die of this boredom if you don't kill me first

[Bridge]
Chalk it up
To apathy
I had every chance
I had every opportunity
That I could want
And I ruined 'em all
I had every chance
Never thought I'd be nothin' at all

[Chorus]
And it feels like I can't win
I'm growin' up, and I'm givin' in
And it's startin' to hurt
And it feels like I can't win
I couldn't wait to be alone again
And I'm getting worse
I might die of this boredom if you don't kill me first
