Victim in the end

Şarkı Sözleri

[Verse 1] You knew exactly what to say To make a lonely heart believe, You’d light a fire in their chest Then disappear when they could breathe. You gave them pieces of your world, Just enough to make them stay, Then when they finally fell for you, You found a reason to walk away. [Pre-Chorus] And I keep turning every word around, Trying to find where I went wrong, But every time the truth comes out, You rewrite it into something else. [Chorus] You build us up just to tear us down, Put the halo on and play the victim now. You take what you need, then you leave us bleeding, Like we’re the ones who stopped believing. How do you sleep when you know what you’ve done? How do you cry like you’re the only one? I’m standing here with a thousand questions, Lost somewhere inside your twisted perception. You broke the hearts you swore you’d defend, Then somehow you’re the victim in the end. [Verse 2] You’d make a man feel ten feet tall, Tell him he was different from the rest, Then once he gave you everything, You’d make him feel like he was second best. You needed someone needing you, Someone waiting on your call, You loved the power of being wanted, But never loved them at all. [Pre-Chorus] And maybe that’s what hurts the most, I still can’t make it make sense, How someone can create the fire Then blame the smoke for what it did. [Chorus] You build us up just to tear us down, Put the halo on and play the victim now. You take what you need, then you leave us bleeding, Like we’re the ones who stopped believing. How do you sleep when you know what you’ve done? How do you cry like you’re the only one? I’m standing here with a thousand questions, Lost somewhere inside your twisted perception. You broke the hearts you swore you’d defend, Then somehow you’re the victim in the end. [Bridge] Maybe you don’t see the damage, Maybe you never wanted to. Maybe every broken person Was just another mirror for you. You needed love to feel important, Needed eyes to make you whole, But every heart you left behind Still carries pieces of your ghost. And I don’t hate you… I just don’t understand. How you can hold somebody’s heart And still pretend you never had it in your hands. [Final Chorus] You build us up just to tear us down, Then wear our pain like a crown. You take the love, you take the trust, Then tell the world that we were too much. And maybe someday you’ll finally see What you turned everybody into. Not enemies, not monsters— Just people who believed in you. You broke the hearts you swore you’d defend, Turned every beginning into another dead end. And I’ll probably never understand How you could destroy someone Then call yourself the one who was hurt in the end. [Outro] You wanted to be wanted. You wanted to be loved. But every time somebody gave you enough… You needed more. And when there was nothing left to take— You called yourself the victim.
