Martyr

I’ve been a martyr for loveAnd I will die in the flamesAs I draw my last breathAs I’m close in on deathI will call out your name
I’ve been a martyr for loveNailed up on the crossWhile you’re having your funAs the damage is doneI’m assessing the cost
I knew what I was letting myself in forI knew that I could never even the score
I’ve been a martyr for loveI need to be by your sideI have knelt at your feetI have felt you deceitCould have leave if I tried
I’ve been a martyr for loveTortured every hourFrom the day I was bornI’ve been moved like a pawnBy the greatest of powers
I knew that I would have to suffer in vainA way that I would never outgrow the pain
I’ve been a martyr for loveI’ve been a martyr for loveI’ve been a martyr for love
