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 yo 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
