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
