    Lyrics:
    You’ve got a lot to learn (do do do do do)
    About the art of losing (yeah)
    Then you take your turn (do do do do do)
    At the art of losing
    You drink more than he takes
    Is it some kind of race?
    But do you want the marks to prove that you do
    Matter more than he says?
    Is it some kind of wake up?
    So what did you learn when life was unkind?
    And was there some purpose to losing my mind?
    And I know we’re ill at ease With questions of need
    Absolving ourselves in situations like these
    She got a lot to learn (do do do do do)
    About the art of losing again
    Then she takes her turn (do do do do do)
    At the art of losing
    How much more can she take?
    One more child One more rape
    Now
    And yet the mask conceals what you lose
    Lessons born in the grief:
    Must repair or repeat now
    So what did you learn when life was unkind?
    And was there some purpose to losing my mind?
    And I know we’re ill at ease With questions of need
    Absolving ourselves in situations like these
    Situations like these
    Absolving yourself in situations like these
    Got a lot to learn (do do do do )
    About the Art Of Losing yeah
    Then you take his turn (do do do do )
    At the Art Of Losing
    Got a lot to learn (do do do do )
    About the art of losing (yeah)
    Then you take your turn (do do do do )
    At the art of losing
    Said it’s all in your head
    Still you try to forget but
    You’ve got the scars to prove that you will
    Matter more than they said
    Is it some kind of wake up?
    Is it some kind of race but?
    So what did you learn when life was unkind?
    And was there some purpose to losing my mind?
    And I know we’re ill at ease
    With questions of need
    Absolving ourselves in situations like these
    Situations like these
    Absolving yourself in situations like these
    Controlling myself
    in situations like these
    So get over yourself
    in situations like these
    Get a hold of yourself
    in situations like these
    You’re controlling yourself
    in situations like these
    Got a lot to learn (do do do do do)
    About the art of losing
    Again
