Obviously, this song is saying that if his ex-love hadn't cheated on him, he wouldn't have found his new long. "I had to lose to win" -- it was probably really hard to lose the other woman, but now he's glad cause if he hadn't ever lost, he wouldn't have won with the woman he's with now, who apparently is MUCH better than the last girl.
