playing the victim/just another him to me

PLAYING THE VICTIM
you say a word and hope she cries
she does; you knew she would
she's not sure why it hurts so much
you do; you knew it could
she collapses to her knees again
you smile; you know what to do
you slowly pull her to her feet
she smiles; she's so confused

JUST ANOTHER HIM TO ME
you said you'd call me
but i'm still sitting here waiting
you said you loved me
but i'm still anticipating
the day when i find
that you never lied
the day when i know
that you're coming home

i turn around and find you're gone
you promised you'd never leave
but i'm coming to find that you're
just another him to me

the phone rings i get it
but it's been at least thirteen days
you say you still love me
but i know it's just one more phase
today's when i find
you're always going to lie
today's when i know
there's no such thing as home

i turn around and find you're gone
you promised you'd never leave
but i'm coming to find that you're
just another him to me

i put on your sweatshirt one last time
and throw myself on my bed
i won't cry, i won't cry, no i won't cry
these tears are not my friends

i turn around and find you're gone
you promised you'd never leave
but i'm coming to find that you're
just another him to me
