Lyric of the Day

(Note: Normally I try to make the title of the song link to the song on iTunes, but Garth Brooks is an idiot or has an idiot for a manager because his music is not sold in the iTunes Music Store.)

Victim of the Game - 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 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 no 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 ya
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.

(Repeat Chorus)

Oh you know when I look into your eyes
I can really feel the pain
Staring in the mirror
at a victim of the game
