Victim of My Circumstance

music & lyrics by David Rogue © 2009

 

I’m over here

And I am wasting time

The thought of a happy future

It nearly crossed my mine

But in the dark

In the corner of this store

I am achin’

Terrorized by this lack of spark

Wanting so much more

I’m hesitating

And love

Is such a curious thing

There’s a canyon of blue

Cut into that diamond ring

 

I’m feelin’ fine

‘Bout your sweet sorrow

I’m ready for the very next girl in line

And I don’t want to dance

In your tomorrow

I’m just a victim of my circumstance

 

I’m over here

And I am wasting time

Paralyzed by this lack of trust

And your always wanting mine

But trust is what I want

It’s what I’m all about

What I’ve been saying

Now with the date so near

I am drenched in doubt

So I’ve been praying

And love

Is such a curious thing

There’s a canyon of blue

Cut into that diamond ring

 

I’m feelin’ fine

‘Bout your sweet sorrow

I’m ready for the very next girl in line

And I don’t want to dance

In your tomorrow

I’m just a victim of my circumstance

 

When I kneeled down on the floor

I knew that that’s what you wanted

You’re not the girl I’m looking for

That’s something I can’t ignore

 

Love

Is such a curious thing

There’s a canyon of blue

Cut into that diamond ring

 

I’m feelin’ fine

‘Bout your sweet sorrow

I’m ready for the very next girl in line

And I don’t want to dance

In your tomorrow

I’m just a victim of my circumstance

victim of my circumstance

victim of my circumstance

victim of my circumstance
