A Martyr For My Love For You

She was 16 and 6 feet tall with a crowd of teenagers comin' out of the zooShe stumbled, start to slip and fall, teeter tottered on the top of patent leather shoesI happened 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 must have seemed, talkin' junk to forgive a little teenage dreamAnd on the phone I could not compete but dumb luck fake confidence was getting weakAnd for a sec I thought I sounded sweet, but sure enough in a gruff faint voice I heard myself speakI could stay awhile, but sooner or later I'll break your smileAnd I can tell a joke, but one of these days I'm bound to chokeAnd we could share a kissBut I feel like I can't go through with thisAnd I bet we could build a homeBut I know the right thing for me to doIs to leave you alone.. leave you alone now..I'm beginning to like you, so you probably won't get what I'm going to doI'm walkin' away from you, it probably don't make much sense to youBut I'm tryin' to save you, from all of the things that I'll probably say I'll do I probably doI could stay awhile, but sooner or later I'll break your smileAnd I can tell a joke, but one of these days I'm bound to chokeAnd we might share a kissBut I feel like I can't go through with thisAnd I bet we could build a homeBut I know the right thing for me to doIs to leave you alone leave you alone nowYou'll probably call me a fool and say I'm doing exactly what a coward would doAnd I'm beginning to like you, it's a shame what a lame way to live, but what can I do?I hope you appreciate what I doI'm a martyr for my love for you
