You've been set up one too many times   The perfect victim for the perfect crime   You left yourself wide open to the pain   So close your eyes now   You're out walkin' in the rain   You've got a burning desire to be the victim   You're bleeding from the soul   You're hurting from the heart   Things you can't be told are gonna tear you apart      Your choice of lovers, never very bright   Your father worried, but even he gave up the fight   You always think their hearts are made of gold   And you're the savior, to coax the warmth out of the cold      You've got a burning desire to be the victim   You're bleeding from the soul   You're hurting from the heart   Things you can't be told are gonna tear you apart   Cause you're the victim      Break the pattern, you've gotta break away   Break the pattern before it gets too late      You've got a burning desire to be the victim   You're bleeding from the soul   You're hurting from the heart   Things you're never told are gonna tear you apart   Cause you're the victim      Written by: neil geraldo & billy steinberg
