"The Martyr" lyrics - JOHN PAUL WHITE

"Keep falling on your sword
"Sink down a little more"
You said it best:
"Nobody's worth less than you"

"It's really only fair
"You get the lion's share
"You know the score
"No one should hurt more than you"

[Chorus:]
These are the words I'm hearin' in my head
The ones that I deserve and should be said
So pile it on
My back is strong
'Cause I'm the martyr

"I'm riddled with holes
"They never seem to close"
"The cross I bear, nobody put it there but me"

[Chorus:]
These are the words that I will not let heal
The ones that I deserve and seem so real
So bring it on
I'll soldier on
'Cause I'm the martyr
The martyr

[Bridge:]
I've honored those who just move on
They light it up, years gone
Well that ain't me
Well that ain't me

[Chorus:]
'Cause I'm the martyr
The martyr

[Outro:]
"Keep falling on your sword
"Sink down a little more"
You said it best:
"Nobody's worth less than you"
