Martyr lyrics

You say I'm a martyr And I can't even argue I keep trying harder Just so you don't have to Don't I look pretty Dressed in self-pity I beg you to hold me I worry you hate me Don't you want me to go down with the ship Don't you want me to not want the thanks that I get Who would I be if I had my own needs You would die trying to out-manipulate me Yeah I'm holding the gun but there's no need to run It stays pointed at me, can't you see I only aim to please Where should all my shame go? It follows like shadows There's no heavier halo Than the one made of fool's gold Don't you want me to go down with the ship Don't you want me to not want the thanks that I get Who would I be if I had my own needs You would die trying to out-manipulate me Yes I'm holding the gun but there's no need to run It stays pointed at me, can't you see I only aim to please Take my face in your hands While I hide from your eyes But it's too late I know 'Cause you've seen what's inside I'm a mess and I'm scared And I'm too tough to cry But you stay, yeah you stay And you say it's alright Don't you want me to go down with the ship Don't you want me to not want the thanks that I get Who would I be if I had my own needs You would die trying to out-manipulate me Yeah I'm holding the gun but there's no need to run It stays pointed at me, can't you see I only aim to please
