The Martyr

Grab the shield I found at my feet to fight with you
No reason for this violence or the tension that fills the room
And I promised my mama I’d stay outta trouble if I could
So why do you make an enemy of someone you know is good?

I'd rather be a martyr than wear the armor you gave me to front
I’ll never be a fighter, I am much wiser to not fight what can’t be won
I'd rather choose love than being right
Your story must have more
We all have trauma so why bother
Asking what’s the fighting for?

You broke the glass of the window I let you see through
My intention intimacy but you likе crowded rooms
I want you to let go of the past, I still see thе bruises
Understand you’re imperfect and fix what you’ve ruined

My silence is no weapon
You are the person that I became
My silence is what you needed
Cause I’m a human
That’s felt the same

Cause I’m no martyr, i just wear the armor you gave me to front
I’ll never be a fighter I am much wiser to not fight what can’t be won
I try to choose love over being right, I really do cherish you
But maybe some distance is the only way for you to see I’m hurting too, cause I’m hurting too
