Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I've been a martyr for love

And I will die in the flames as I draw my last breath

As I'm closin' on death

I will call out your name

[Verse 2]

I've been a martyr for love

Nailed up on the cross

While you're havin' your fun, as the damage is done

I'm assessing the cost

[Verse 3]

I knew what I was lettin' myself in for

I knew that I could never even the score

[Verse 4]

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

[Verse 5]

I've been a martyr for love

Tortured every hour from the day I was born

I've been moved like a pawn

By the greatest of powers

[Verse 6]

I knew that I would have to suffer in vain

Aware that I would never outgrow the pain

[Verse 7]

I've been a martyr for love

I've been a martyr for love

I've been a martyr for love

I've been a martyr for love
