Play the Victim Lyrics by City State

Finding Solace in Loss

2018

[Intro]
You said you loved me but that was a lie
[Verse 1]
You promised me that you were just friends
And I had nothing to worry about
Said I was losing my mind (Losing my mind)
And like a fool I believed every word
The secrets you kept from me (Kept from me)
Are finally surfacing (Surfacing)
And all I needed was proof
That everything I feared about you was true
You told me I was wrong
You made yourself look like a victim
(A victim)
[Chorus]
You said you loved me, but that was just a lie
Beaten and broken, now there's nothing left inside
I tried my best to move on, to be the better man
But I'm sinking, I'm sinking, I'm deep in quicksand
I'm deep in quicksand
[Verse 2]
And every time he touches you
I hope you were thinking of me
And after everything we've been through
I can't stand myself for wondering
How do you sleep at night
When I'm alone and he's holding you tight?
You said you loved me but that was a lie
[Chorus]
You said you loved me, but that was just a lie
Beaten and broken, now there's nothing left inside
I tried my best to move on, to be the better man
But I'm sinking, I'm sinking, I'm deep in quicksand
[Outro]
I hope you're happy with him
From the bottom of my heart
I hope you're unhappy 'cause he'll never be me
