Play the Victim

Go
Just Go Away
You’re driving me Insane
Go
Just Go Away
You just bring me pain
And I’m drowning 
Drowning in your words 

And I dreamed of you
Thinking of the truth 
I gave you everything
Yet it was nothing at all 
You sure knew how to point the blame
Leaving me in shame

So just play
Play the victim 
Just how you showed me
Point
Point the blame
Cause we all know
I was always wrong 
Pretend like I didn’t give you
Give you everything
Guess it meant nothing
Nothing at all 

I showed you love, my dear
Still you always lived in fear
I saw the pain in your heart
Wanting to give you a brand new start
Tried to carry the weight of it all
Still you managed to fall

So just play
Play the victim 
Just how you showed me
Point
Point the blame
Cause we all know
I was always wrong 
Pretend like I didn’t give you
Give you everything
Guess it meant nothing
Nothing at all

Maybe the lost
Won’t always be found
I threw out the life line
Still you said you'll be fine 
It’s so sad to see 
What you chose to be

I’ll watch from a distance
As your life falls to pieces 
Don’t you ever say
I never gave you the time of day 
I gave my everything
But it was nothing
Now I’m done
Just drown in your decisions

I’ll forever be the lighthouse 
That never shined for you
For you 

So just play
Play the victim 
Just how you showed me
Point
Point the blame
Cause we all know
I was always wrong 
Pretend like I didn’t give you
Give you everything
Guess it meant nothing
Nothing at all

Go ahead and play
Play the victim
And tell me 
How far it goes

Very sad and deep write! A poem that most of us can relate to. I know that any kind of love can hurt a lot sometimes. Relationships are not easy. Love most of the time really sucks! :( xxx D
