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 everyone's expecting me 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 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
