Victim Of The Game Lyrics

(Mark D. Sanders/Garth Brooks)

 

 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

 

 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

 

 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

 

 CHORUS

 

 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
