Martyr from Wild Woman by McCaslin Blue

You say you set yourself on fire
Just to keep us warm
But you're such a damn good liar
Fake tears falling on the floor

I'll never know how you feel or what you really are
But I know I can't stay here, I got to go far
You tried to keep me in a bad place
Said I can't make it without your embrace
Darlin' don't make this harder than it has to be
You'll never be a blessed martyr or a hero to me

Well you're always starting trouble
Just to keep me down
And you try to make me stumble
So I crash on to the ground

I'll never know how you feel or what you really are
But I know I can't stay here, I got to go far
You tried to keep me in a bad place
Said I can't make it without your embrace
Darlin' don't make this harder than it has to be
You'll never be a blessed martyr or a hero to me

You depended on my silence
Just to save your precious name
But I ain't standing for your violence
No more taking all the blame

Now I don't care how you feel or what you really are
And I have got to leave you here, I'm gonna go far
You tried to keep me in a bad place
Said I can't make it without your embrace
Darlin' don't make this harder than it has to be
You'll never be a blessed martyr or a hero to me

A hero to me

A hero to me
