Verse
Well, it took a little time
But I guess you finally learned
That promises get broken
And bridges do get burned
You've been sifting through the ashes
Just trying to find a flame
Holdin on to nothing
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 listenin with your heart
But you can't say I didn't warn you
Now there's no one else to blame
There's no one quite as blind
As a victim of the game
Chorus
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
Verse
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 standing tall
In the shadow of the shame
When everybody knows
That your a victim of the game
Chorus
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
Bridge
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
