Lyrics
Victim
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
House full of roses, a letter on the stairs
A tape full of messages for anyone who cares
Collage of broken words, and stories full of tears
Remembering your life, 'cause we wish that you were here
Nothing is harder than to wake up all alone
Realize it's not ok, it's the end of all you've known
Time keeps passing by, but it seems I'm frozen still
Scars are left behind
But some too deep to feel
And some say this can't be real
And I've lost my power to feel tonight
We're all just victims of a crime
When all's gone and can't be regained
We can't seem to shelter the pain inside
We're all just victims of a crime
Some days you'll find me in a place I like to go,
Ask questions to myself about the things I'll never know
What's left to find? 'cause I need a little more
I need a little time
Can we even up the score?
Some say this can't be real
And I've lost my power to feel tonight
We're all just victims of a crime
When all's gone and can't be regained
We can't seem to shelter the pain inside
We're all just victims of a crime
Nothing lasts forever
For all good things it's true
I'd rather trade it all, while somehow saving you
It must have been the season that threw us out of line
Once I stood so tall
Now I'm searching for a sign
So don't need your salvation with promises unkind
And all the speculation, save it for another time
'Cause we all need a reason
A reason just to stay
And some just can't be bothered to
Stick around another day
And some say this can't be real
And I've lost my power to feel tonight
We've all been victims of a crime
When all is gone and can't be regained
We can't seem to shelter the pain inside
Ooh, we've all been victims of a crime
Victims of a crime
Living with this crime
I'm missing you
I'm missing you
I'm missing you
I'm missing you
