Victimized

Give yourself up, never try to run.
Let them win, be the victim.
Only when you have suffered will you know
Just how much it's worth, to discover the rewards.
No one will know, as no one will care.
Just how much you went through.
For it all, give it up.
Never try, be the victim.
Never try.
Half way through the pain gets worse.
Your goal vs. the pain.
Everything it's worth will be in the end.
I'll take you if you take me.
This way the pain we feel is together.
Fight it together. Be there for you.
Be there for me. Now I feel pain.
The world explodes around you.
Feelings crushed, family leaving.
Friends leaving, you're on your own.
I'm still here, but I don't matter,
You hate me.
Crushed emotions, push me away.
I'll be there for you, when you're you.
Drop the illusion, you love me.
I love you.
Stop this madness, give yourself up.
Never try,
Let fear, hate and sorrow enclose you.
Be the Victim.
LET ME WIN.
