| 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 |
