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.
I surrender, baby, help me understand
I've given everything when I had to give
Maybe I'm a victim of my own desire
I can't change it, mm, yeah
I remember walking through the fields of glass
I remember darkness overhead
Honey, I'm a victim of my own desire
I can't change it, mm, yeah
Should I keep moving?
But you took it all, and you threw it all away
You never wanted nothing I had to give
Honey, I'm a victim of my own desire
Who are you?
I remember looking through the photographs
I can't wait on some things that change
Honey, I'm a victim of my own desire
I keep changing you, mm, yeah
Maybe stop pretending you need to be somewhere
'Cause I keep chasing everything through the dark
Honey, I'm a victim of my own desire
But I keep changing you, ooh, yeah
Should I keep moving you? (Ooh)
Honey, I'm a victim of my own desire
Never mind the darkness overhead
When you feel alone, do you really feel alive?
Who are you?
Yeah, I took it all, but I threw it all away
Never wanted nothing you had to give
Honey, I'm a victim of my own desire
Who are you?
Who are you?
Who are you?
Who are you?
Who are you?
Who are you, babe?
Who are you?
Who are you, babe?
Honey, I'm a victim of my own desire
Never mind the darkness overhead
When you feel alone, can you really feel alive?
Who are you?
Yeah, I took it all, but I threw it all away
Never wanted nothing you had to give
Honey, I'm a victim of my own desire
Who are you?
(Who are you?) Who are you, babe?
(Who are you?) Who are you, babe?
(Who are you?) Who are you, babe?
(Who are you?) Who are you, babe?
(Who are you?) Who are you?
