[Verse 1]
Lost in a dream
Try not to wake
I'll stay asleep
So I can escape my life
Left like a ghost
Left me alone
Just like your clothes
Hanging me out to dry
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don't wanna play the victim
[Chorus]
Tell me tell me where I was I when we went wrong
You've been gone so long
I don't wanna play the victim, victim
I just wish that you would listen, listen
Where do I go when you're gone
And you're all I want
I don't wanna play the victim, victim
I just wish that you would listen, listen
[Verse 2]
Into the dark
Under the waves
Watching the world
Wash me away
No shifting the blame
In an hourglass
Trying to catch the sand
Falling through the cracks
With you
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't wanna play the victim
[Chorus]
Tell me tell me where I was I when we went wrong
You've been gone so long
I don't wanna play the victim, victim
I just wish that you would listen, listen
Where do I go when you're gone
And you're all I want
I don't wanna play the victim, victim
I just wish that you would listen, listen
(I just wish that you would listen, listen)
[Chorus]
Tell me tell me where I was I when we went wrong
You've been gone so long
I don't wanna play the victim, victim
I just wish that you would listen, listen
Where do I go when you're gone
And you're all I want
I don't wanna play the victim, victim
I just wish that you would listen, listen
[Outro]
I don't wanna play the victim, victim
I just wish that you would listen, listen
(I don't wanna play the victim)
(I don't wanna play the victim)
(I don't wanna play the victim)
