Victim Of The Game

Lyrics

Well it took a little time  
But I guess you finally learned  
That promises get broken  
And bridges do get burned  
You've been siftin' through the ashes  
Just tryin' to find a flame  
Holdin' on to nothin'  
You're a victim of the game  
  
You were standin' way too close  
To see it all fall apart  
And there were things you couldn't hear  
'Cause you were listenin' with your heart  
But you can't say I didn't warn you  
Now there's no one else to blame  
There's on one quite as blind  
As a victim of the game  
  
And it don't matter who you are  
It treats everyone the same  
All you need's a heart  
To be a victim of the game  
  
You know it's really gettin' to you  
When you take to tellin' lies  
And you can try to fool your friends  
But you can't look 'em in the eye  
There ain't no standin' tall  
In the shadow of the shame  
When everybody knows  
That you're a victim of the game  
  
And it don't matter who you are  
It treats everyone the same  
All you need's a heart  
To be a victim of the game  
  
Oh you know when I look into your eyes  
I can really feel the pain  
Starin' in the mirror  
At a victim of the game
