Bound to Lose

[Verse] Maria grabs her coffee cup, the same old routine, Just a simple morning game meant to clear the mind and dream, But when she types those letters and the colors start to shift, The answers seem elusive, like a morning inland mist. [Verse 2] Vicky’s got her laptop open, brow furrowed in despair, She checks her words twice over, hoping for a prayer, But John's always a step ahead, his guesses turn to gold, It's just a Wordle game, but it’s getting mighty old. [Chorus] They're bound to lose, oh every single day, John's got that magic word, and they're left in the gray, Maria and Vicky sigh, but they give it one more try, A little game of letters, breaking hearts beneath the sky. [Verse 3] Maria’s husband, John, rolls a laugh from his chest, “You'll win one day,” he teases, “just give it all your best,” But patterns leave them puzzled, hope is wearing thin, Another day of failure, another loss to him. [Bridge] In that quiet morning light, their dreams all set to bet, Every guess a gamble with no winnings to be met, Though it hurts a little more, they never miss a day, Means more than just a word, it’s their bond in a way. [Verse 4] Vicky’s texting Maria, “Next time we’ll come through,” They talk of tips and tactics, trying something new, But by the time it’s over, John’s hoisting high his score, A stubborn game of letters, leaves their spirits sore.
