Oh, I’m such a loser
How’d I ever lose her?
Oh, maybe I must have been out of my mind
Now I’m a loser, why’d I have to lose her?
I’ll never recover, I’ll never be fine, ’cause I
I just might get a little too drunk so I won’t think about us
I don’t think about what we could have been
And I stay up like three or four nights so I won’t dream about us
Wake up with no luck
I just can’t win
I should have seen it all along (Ah)
She was one in a million (Ah)
It hurts whenever someone says her name (Someone says her name)
When we were going off and on (Ah)
I guess I really played it wrong (Ah)
I should have never let her slip away
Oh, I’m such a loser
How’d I ever lose her?
Oh, maybe I must have been out of my mind
Now I’m a loser, why’d I have to lose her?
I’ll never recover, I’ll never be fine, ’cause I
I just might been a little too gone when she needed somebody
Up against her body (Ooh) at 2 am
Yeah, and now I keep lying to myself when she’s just joking probably
(She’s joking probably)
She’ll probably call me and we’ll be us again
I should have seen it all along (Ah)
She was one in a million (Ah)
Now she’s in love and I’m in second place (Damn)
Oh, I’m such a loser
How’d I ever lose her? (Lose her)
Oh, maybe I must have been out of my mind
Now I’m a loser, why’d I have to lose her?
I’ll never recover, I’ll never be fine, ’cause I
Oh my, my, my, my
Oh my, my, my, my
Oh my, my, my, my, I’m a loser
(I say) Oh my, my, my, my
Oh my, my, my, my
Oh my, my, my, my, I’m a loser
Tell me God is real
Do you think about me still
Or am I living for nothing?
Don’t know where it went wrong but I’ll just take the hint
It’s gonna take some adjusting
Oh, I’m such a loser
How’d I ever lose her?
Oh, maybe I must have been out of my mind
Now I’m a loser, why’d I have to lose her? (I’ll never)
I’ll never recover, I’ll never be fine, ’cause I
I’m a loser
Oh my, my, my, my
Oh my, my, my, my
Oh my, my, my, my, I’m a loser (I say)
Oh my, my, my, my (Oh, I say)
Oh my, my, my, my (And I say)
Oh my, my, my, my, I’m a loser
The Pain of Regret and Self-Reflection
Charlie Puth’s “Loser” dives deep into the aftermath of heartbreak, blending self-blame with poignant nostalgia. The lyrics reveal an internal struggle, as the narrator grapples with the loss of a significant relationship and his own role in its unraveling. The repeated chorus, where he calls himself a “loser,” underscores a sense of regret and the torment of recognizing mistakes too late. Puth vividly conveys the spiral of emotions—sleepless nights, futile attempts to move on, and the haunting hope that things might return to what they once were. The vulnerability in his words makes the song relatable for anyone who has experienced the sting of letting someone precious slip away.
