Don't blame the victim
The victim of the crime
Don't blame the victim
It's you who's hurt this time

When you're standing all alone
With your sad tale to tell
Don't blame the victim
Though it's a role you know too well

We all need a place to heal
And mend our broken pride
But when you get hurt and blame yourself
There's no place left for you to hide

Love came so easily
You gave what you could
Love came so easily
He thought, it couldn't be any good

Now he's left you all alone
With your sad tale to tell
When you're the one who spun the dream
And he's the one who broke the spell

Now you're the victim
While he gets off free
Don't blame the victim
The way you once blamed me,
Once blamed me
