Explanation:
A guess in English:

"Looks like the same old thing. We (or: they, you) go wrong every time. I'm the one you said would (or: told to, predicted to) lose."

Need better transliteration and more context to be sure. What language is the text you were reading?

Yes, it looks like resigned and somewhat bitter words by a lover on parting, although it does not refer specifically to parting.

In the context you describe, I would render the passage:

\"Looks like the same old thing. We wrong each other every time. So, I\'m the one you picked to lose.\"

Oddly, the speaker mixes a polite word for \'I\' with a disrespectful word for \'you.\' These pronouns come in pairs for different levels of status or respect.
