"Victim Of The Game" lyrics - TRISHA YEARWOOD

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
Holding on to nothin', you're a victim of the game

You were standin' way too close to see it fall apart
There were things you couldn't hear
'Cause you were listenin' with your heart
You can't say I didn't warn you now there's no one to blame
There's no 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

[Instrumental]

You know it's really gettin' to ya 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 everybody knows you're a victim of the game

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

When I look into your eyes
I can really feel the pain
Starin' in the mirror at
A victim of the game...
