Martyr (Waves)

I've been a liar, been a thief, been a fool for you

I've been a martyr, been a saint, been a coward

Now there's nothing left to prove

But I'm at war with all the things that I'm supposed to be

And when I speak it seems that everyone's expecting me to

To say what they can't say

It comes in waves that break upon the sand

It comes in waves to drown this broken man, oh

I've been a liar, been a thief, been a fool for you

I've been through hell, been a traitor to myself

Now I've got nothing left to lose

But how can I go on in this electric life?

And if they come for me tonight, they won't take me alive

It comes in waves that break upon the sand

It comes in waves to drown this broken man

And it's so confusing, the way you're using me

(I feel like you're using me)

To speak the words that you lack the strength to say

I'm giving up on the fairy tale

These dreams bring me nothing but pain

Believe that I meant every single word I said

When I said that when it comes, it, it comes in waves

I've been a liar, been a thief, been a fool for you

I've been a giver, but I've given all I can to you
