Lost! Lyrics

I interpret this song as one person expressing how they faltered and got lost...but in the end they learned their lesson and came out alright...completely reminds me of my life! Amazing song!

I thought the beginning lyrics were

"Just because I'm losing, doesn't mean I (or I've) lost."

It made more sense to me that way. Now it's confusing if it's really "doesn't mean I'M lost..." It would also fit better then with the next verse that says "doesn't mean you've won."

Is this just a typo/misunderstood lyric? Or is that really how CM wrote it??
