Facing Defeat

FACING DEFEAT - Written by Carroll Bryant 

I've been through so much in my short life

It's hard for me to say

But it seems I can remember when I've seen better days 

Lovers come and lovers go just like a gentle wind 

Each one ending like the last one 

Facing defeat again 

To tell the truth is hard for some when lies are a part of life 

Picking up strangers in a barroom 

And going somewhere to share the night 

One night stands is all it's been and it's got to stop somewhere 

But it's so hard to find somebody special 

And to hope that they really care 

I need a lover to last forever and I also need a friend

But I can never seem to get it together

Facing defeat again 

You know, it never comes so easy

It's so hard to just get by 

Without a true love, I'm going crazy 

I'd like to dry the tears from my eyes 

So I'll keep on searching for all of the answers

I know they're hiding deep within 

I may not like all that I find because I'm facing defeat again 

And if you ever talk about me please don't you pretend 

That I was a winner and never a sinner 

Because I went down facing defeat to the end 

You know, it never comes so easy

It's so hard to just get by 

Without a true love, I'm going crazy 

I'd like to dry the tears from my eyes

I've been through so much in my short life

It's hard for me to say

But it seems I can remember when I've seen ... better days
