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
