I lowered my standards for you
A ten reachin' down to a two
You weren't misunderstood, not some prodigal godsend
Playin' video games in your room
And I wish I would've listened to my mom
And my friends who knew it all along
Every time I was talkin' you'd wait with your jaw clenched
The last word or nothin' at all

So imagine my regret
You went so low, and then you left me like a fool

Maybe I'm stupid, the levels I stooped
Just to lose out to a loser like you
How do you do it? Oh, you're so cool
Must've been easy, heartbreaker like you

I let a loser in (ah-ah)
I let a loser win

And I sit here so mad at myself
Built you up and neglected my health
Wrote up all of those emails that got you that big deal
And you were so proud of yourself
Now I'm the one who's cryin' over all your little lies
Somehow I'm the one who's left behind
I was doin' your laundry while you're having sex on some other girl's white linen sheets

Maybe I'm stupid, the levels I stooped
Just to lose out to a loser like you
How did you do it? Oh, you're so cool
Must've been easy, heartbreaker like you

I let a loser in (ah-ah)
I let a loser win
I, I let a loser in, ah-ah

I let a loser win
