[Intro: YUNGBLUD]
Yeah

[Verse 1: YUNGBLUD, Dan Reynolds & Both]
I'm so sick of me, wake up and hate to breathe
And I pride myself in that, so dramatic, I’ll admit
I'm so typical, my life ain't difficult
But I’m so caught up in it, just a lowlife, I'll admit
I'm self-critical, a tryhard original
Oh, I pride myself on that, such a loser, I'll admit

[Pre-Chorus: YUNGBLUD with Dan Reynolds]
And I ask myself, when my time will come
Will I run away, will I run away?

[Chorus: YUNGBLUD & Dan Reynolds]
I'm the original loser
Some days, I wish I's anyone else
I'm the original loser
Some days, I wish I's anyone else

[Verse 2: YUNGBLUD, Dan Reynolds & Both]
I’m so paranoid, most people I avoid
Not seeking sympathy (Nah), I just want out of this (Hey)
Hide under an umbrella (Yeah)
And try to shelter myself from the rain
Try to stop my head from goin’ insane
Counting down all the days
I swear that there's a bright side too
Being alone outside, they
Cannot suffocate me when they
Cannot fucking chase me out (Ayy)
Anagram all of the letters
They’re tellin' me that I'm gonna be fine
I climb the walls inside of my mind
Piece 'em together and jump off the sides
I might be alone tonight
If I try to stay alive and realise
I’m going blind

[Chorus: YUNGBLUD & Dan Reynolds]
(Congratulations) I'm the original loser
Some days, I wish I's anyone else
(Congratulations) I'm the original loser
Some days, I wish I's anyone else

[Bridge: YUNGBLUD & Dan Reynolds]
Don't let 'em change your mind
Don't let 'em change your mind (Ooh)
Don't let 'em waste your time
Don't let 'em waste your time (Someone save me)
Don't let 'em change your mind
Don't let 'em change your mind (Loser, fuck)
Don't let 'em waste your time
Don't let 'em waste your time
Yeah
Don't let 'em waste your time

[Chorus: YUNGBLUD & Dan Reynolds, Dan Reynolds]
I'm the original loser (Congratulations)
Some days, I wish I's anyone else (Loser)

YUNGBLUD

Dominic Richard Harrison, who performs under the moniker of YUNGBLUD, fuses alternative rock and hip-hop while speaking up on important topics like mental illness and politics. Hailing from Doncaster, England, he cites acts like Arctic Monkeys and Eminem as influences.

Harrison grew up surrounded by music, and in several interviews he mentions that his parents placed a ukulele in his hands within days of his birth. His father owned a guitar shop and his grandfather was part of T. Rex.

Before becoming YUNGBLUD, he performed as Harrison, releasing songs like “Miss Those Days” with an upbeat acoustic flare. In his late teens, Harrison was approached by a record label, and conformed to their expectations hoping for a successful career, but he left the label in favor of making the music he truly wanted to create.
