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

Heard Gaga + depeche mode + Kate Bush and I am sold, about to play the song. Please be true.
Edit: it is.
fully inspired by Depeche Mode's Somebody. #changeMyMind
I hear more from Shake The Disease than from Somebody ;)
