[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 closing 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 having your fun, as the damage is done
I'm assessing the cost

[Chorus 1]
I knew what I was letting myself in for
I knew that I could never even the score

[Verse 3]
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 4]
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
[Chorus 2]
I knew that I would have to suffer in vain
Aware that I would never outgrow the pain

[Outro]
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
