Play The 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.
You're the one who always falls apart
The one who plays the victim
Working on your lastest tragedy
When you should try to fix it
You don't understand and
You won't listen!
Why do we do what we do?
We do it to ourselves!
(We hurt the ones we love!
The ones we love!)
When, when will it end?
We do it to ourselves!
(We hurt the ones we love!
The ones we love!)
I'm not the one you should be worried about
You're so lost, you're so lost
Why does nothing seems to get through you?
These are your problems, there's nothing I can do!
(There's nothing I can do!)
You don't understand it
You won't listen
Why do we do what we do?
We do it to ourselves!
(We hurt the ones we love!
The ones we love!)
When, when will it end?
We do it to ourselves!
(To ourselves!)
Knowing your tears are made believe
Snowflakes in the summer
It just doesn't add up, it just doesn't add up
Like icicles in spring
Wake up! Wake up!
And see the truth!
I'm not like you!
Why do we do what we do?
We do it to ourselves!
(We hurt the ones we love!
The ones we love!)
When, when will it end?
We do it to ourselves!
(We hurt the ones we love!
The ones we love!)
Why do we do what we do?
We do it to our
Why do we do what we do?
We do it to ourselves!
We do it to our
