Martyr

I've been a martyr for love
And I will die in the flames
As I draw my last breath
As I'm close in on death
I will call out your name

I've been a martyr for love
Nailed up on the cross
While you having your fun
As the damaged is done
I'm assessing the cost

I knew what I was letting myself in for
I knew that I could never even the score

I've been a Martyr for love
I need to be by your side
I have knelt at your feet
I have felt your deceit
Couldn't leave if I tried

I Have been a martyr for love
Tortured every hour
From the day I was borned
I've been moved like a pawn
By the greatest of powers

I knew that I would have to suffer in vein
Aware that I would never outgrow the pain

I have been a martyr for love
I have been a martyr for love
I have been a martyr for love
I have been a martyr for love
