Losing Race

There's a weight on your shoulders
Could be carried by another
But pride is always stepping in the way
There's a hole in your pocket
All your money, now you've dropped it
Another headache
Another day
Yeah

And it's a losing race
You're staring it in the face
Trying to measure up
Darling, you've done enough

Now you're feeling like a failure
Like you're just another player
In a game where you can never get ahead
Don't take it to heart
If you don't know right where to start
The ones who say they do
Well they are lyin'

And it's a losing race
You're staring it in the face
Trying to measure up
Darling, you've done enough

And enough is enough
We'll never measure up
To the 'perfect picture'
It's a cover up
Give yourself some grace
They say the mess will wait
Just take a break

And it's a losing race, yeah
Turn around and walk away
You've been trying to measure up
Darling, you've done enough

And enough is enough
We'll never measure up
To the 'perfect picture'
It's a cover up
Give yourself some grace
They say the mess will wait
It's a losing race
