He says, "I'm a good loser born to be that way this dog he never had his day." He has come to terms with the fact that he will never come out on top in life and has learned to be a "good loser" in order to cope with his constant disappointments. Despite his constant heartaches, he acknowledges that he has sinned in the past and believes that he is paying for it through his continuous losing streak. He expresses his frustration with life, saying that he is stuck in a cycle that he cannot break. However, he continues to maintain a positive attitude and remain humble in the face of adversity. The singer admits that losing his lover would be the biggest hurt he could face, but he doesn't want his feelings to burden those around him. The song conveys a sense of resignation and acceptance of life's disappointments, but also shows the strength and resilience of the human spirit to keep going despite the odds.
