It took a little time
But I guess you fin’lly 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 standing way too close
To see it fall apart
There were things you couldn’t hear
‘Cause you were list’nin’ with your heart
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 ev’ryone 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
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 ev’rybody knows
That you’re a victim of the game
