Martyrs of Love
Martyrs of Love
verse:
I sit alone as the clock strikes midnight
another day gone, a new one among us
what's to strive for next?
another relationship gone bitter cold
only to leave you desperate and old
another year gone bittersweet
only to realize you're not alone
and the best is yet to come
It's always the beginning
that pulls your heart in
of what you can't overcome
and what you're faced with when it's gone
we try to convince, we give and we lust
over someone who's completely out of touch
no pointing fingers or blaming the game
we're all martyrs of love, tortured by the flame
chorus:
leave this all behind
your past is now your present stuck in time
find a way to move on
someone's waiting for you
prove them wrong
verse:
we all share similar qualities in this life we live
but pain and heartache make us identical twins
we hope to avoid them at all costs
and do much of anything to fight until we've lost
She loved him for a single moment
like a sunset surfacing behind a mountain skyline
it was enough to give him hope
and turn his emotions on overdrive
like a child glancing at the ocean or jumping rope
He loved her
but there was only so much he could do
or so little he couldn't prepare for
as a boxer takes yet another low blow
chorus:
leave this all behind
your past is now your present stuck in time
find a way to move on
someone's waiting for you
prove them wrong
verse:
The body needs time to heal
a soul keeps searching
while the brain disappears
it's on hold, paused and postponed for years
we live and learn from people we meet
engage in acts from across the street
you'd think this life is all but a circus act
witnessed by the broken-hearted who want to be loved
bridge:
After the sun has risen, we start something fresh and new
only to the naked eye, mind and body do we realize the things we've gone through
They say, "what kills you only makes you stronger" and to understand the sweet and the sour is to ride the ship for everything that matters
chorus:
leave this all behind
your past is now your present stuck in time
find a way to move on
someone's waiting for you
prove them wrong
...
Love matters, it's love that makes us stronger
