A martyr for my love for you.

A MARTYR FOR MY LOVE FOR YOU

She was sixteen
And six feet all
In a crow of teenagers
Coming out of the zoo

She stumbled
Stared to slip and fall
Teeter totterd on the top
Of patent leather shoes

I happen to catch her and said
Maybe these ruby shoes are
A little cumbersome for you

Maybe for you , now

But not as shaky
As I mustve seemed
Talking junk through her
Giggle little teenage dream

And on the phone I could not compete
My dumb luck
Fake confidence
Was getting weak

And for a sec
I thougt I sounded sweet
But sure enough
In a gruff faint voice
I heard myself.... (CORO)
I could stay awhile
But sooner or later
ill break your smile
And I can tell a joke
But one of these days
Im bound to choke
And we might start to kiss
But I feel like I cant go
Through with this
And I bet we could build a home
But I know the right thing
For me to do
Is to leave you alone.

Im begining to like you
So you probably wont get
What Im going to do

Im walking away from you
It probably dont make
No sense to you

But Im trying to save you
From all of the things that
ill probably say or do

ill probably do,now.

(CORO)
I could stay awhile
But sooner or later
ill break your smile
And I can tell a joke
But one of these days
Im bound to choke
And we might start to kiss
But I feel like I cant go
Through with this
And I bet we could build a home
But I know the right thing
For me to do
Is to leave you alone
