You've been set up one too many times

The perfect victim for the perfect crime

You left yourself wide open to the pain

So close your eyes now

You're out walkin' in the rain

You've got a burning desire to be The Victim

You're bleeding from the soul

You're hurting from the heart

Things you can't be told are gonna tear you apart



Your choice of lovers, never very bright

Your father worried, but even he gave up the fight

You always think their hearts are made of gold

And you're the savior, to coax the warmth out of the cold



You've got a burning desire to be The Victim

You're bleeding from the soul

You're hurting from the heart

Things you can't be told are gonna tear you apart

Cause you're The Victim



Break the pattern, you've gotta break away

Break the pattern before it gets too late



You've got a burning desire to be The Victim

You're bleeding from the soul

You're hurting from the heart

Things you're never told are gonna tear you apart

Cause you're The Victim
