Accidentally like a martyr

Accidentally like a martyr
By Warren Zevon. Give it a listen let me know what you think. I used to sob in total woe is me I'm doomed when I was deep in the bottle. Heard it sober for the first time I can remember today and while it still made me sad it also made me determined not to be the martyr I feel he speaks of.
Lyrics below:

The phone don't ring
And the sun refused to shine
Never thought I'd have to pay so dearly
For what was already mine
For such a long, long time

We made mad love
Shadow love
Random love
And abandoned love
Accidentally like a martyr
The hurt gets worse and the heart gets harder

The days slide by
Should have done, should have done, we all sigh
Never thought I'd ever be so lonely
After such a long, long time
Time out of mind

We made mad love
Shadow love
Random love
And abandoned love
Accidentally like a martyr
The hurt gets worse and the heart gets harder

"Accidentally like a martyr"
Warren Zevon
