I lost
Out of all losses in the world
Which was yours?
They say you learn from your mistakes
Waiting is a bore
All I can say
About your greatest defeat
Was it was someone else's triumph
It still hurts to be beat
I lost to my friend
In a game that was new
I took it with embarrassment
I know you have too
I won against my sister
She took it hard
We played again and again
Never let down our guard
Fight or flight
Hit and run
Decisions made
Sword or gun
“Beginners luck” they said
Strategies only work if you've got the right one
Oops, wrong move now your character’s gone
Winning is the part that makes the game fun
