song: Victim by Johnnie Guilbert

---------------------

Lost in a dream, trying not to wake
I'll stay asleep so I can escape my life
You left like a ghost, you left me alone
But just like your clothes, hanging me out to dry

And I don't wanna play the victim

Tell me, tell me
Where was I when we went wrong
You've been gone too long
I don't wanna play the victim, victim
I just wish that you would listen, listen
Where do I go when you're gone
And you're all I want
I don't wanna play the victim, victim
I just wish that you would listen, listen

Into the dark, under the waves
Watching the world wash me away
No shifting the blame in an hourglass
Trying to catch the sand falling through the cracks
With you

I don't wanna play the victim

Tell me, tell me
Where was I when we went wrong
You've been gone too long
I don't wanna play the victim, victim
I just wish that you would listen, listen
Where do I go when you're gone
And you're all I want
I don't wanna play the victim, victim
I just wish that you would listen, listen
(I just wish that you would listen, listen)

Tell me, tell me
Where was I when we went wrong
You've been gone too long
I don't wanna play the victim, victim
I just wish that you would listen, listen
Where do I go when you're gone
And you're all I want
I don't wanna play the victim, victim
I just wish that you would listen, listen

I don't wanna play the victim, victim
I just wish that you would listen, listen
(I don't wanna play the victim)
(I don't wanna play the victim)
(I don't wanna play the victim)

I remember an ex sent this to me, they said it reminded them of me, they said basically that I was the victim of what they and others were doing to me at the time, they sent it to me to tell me it wasn't my fault. now I play this song and memories of lots of people flood my brain, I play this song when I start to blame myself because deep down.. I know it wasn't my fault, because I didn't even know that anything was wrong. until suddenly, I was told so many things, each one contradictory to another. where was I when we went wrong? I thought we were great, but maybe that's because I ignored everything done to me.
