Lyric Victim Of The Game

(Garth Brooks/Mark D. Sanders)

It took a little time
But I guess you finally learned
That promises get broken
And bridges do get burned
You ve been sittin 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 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 else 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

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 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

When I look into your eyes
I can really feel the pain
Starin in the mirror
At a victim of the game
