A Victim

You're just a victim
A victim of the game.
The game of Love.
When you think you know
Who's loving you,
Think again
It's just a game.

There's a joke somewhere
And it's on you;
Sitting in the rain and snow
They're not missing you.

You thought they cared,
That they loved you;
Think again,
It's just a game.

You don't know
Until you can see
What they're doing 
To you and me.
But we're just 
A victim of the game.
The game of Love.
