Victim

House full of roses

A letter on the stairs

A tape full of messages

For anyone who cares

Collage of broken words

and stories full of tears

Remembering your life

'Cause we wish that you were here



Nothing is harder

Than to wake up all alone

Realize it's not okay

It's the end of all you've known

Time keeps passing by

But it seems I'm frozen still

Scars are left behind

But some too deep to feel



And some say this can't be real

And I've lost my power to feel tonight

We're all just victims of a crime

When all's gone and can't be regained

We can't seem to shelter the pain inside

We're all just victims of a crime



Some days you'll find me

In a place I like to go

Ask questions to myself

'Bout the things I'll never know

What's left to find

'Cause I need a little more

I need a little time

Can we even up the score?



And some say this can't be real

And I've lost my power to feel tonight

We're all just victims of a crime

When all's gone and can't be regained

We can't seem to shelter the pain inside

We're all just victims of a crime



Nothing lasts forever

For all good things it's true

I'd rather trade it all

While somehow saving you

It must have been the season

That threw us out of line

Once I stood so tall

Now I'm searching for a sign



So don't need your salvation

With promises unkind

And all the speculations

Save it for another time

'Cause we all need a reason

A reason just to stay

Some just can't be bothered

To stick around another day



And some say this can't be real

And I've lost my power to feel tonight

We've all been victims of a crime

When all's gone and can't be regained

We can't seem to shelter the pain inside (oh)

We've all been victims of a crime

Victims of a crime

Living with this crime



I'm missing you

I'm missing you

I'm missing you

I'm missing you
