[Verse 1]
Guess that it was bound to happen; was just a matter of time
But now I ve come to my decision, And it s a-one of the painful kind
Cause now it seems that you wanted a martyr,
Just a regular guy wouldn t do
But baby, I can t hang upon no lover s cross for you.
[Verse 2]
Yes I really got to hand it to you, cause girl, you really tried
But for every time that we spent laughin
There were two times that I cried.
And you were tryin to make me your martyr
And that s the one thing I just couldn t do
Cause baby, I can t hang upon no lover s cross for you.
[Chorus]
Cause tables are meant for turnin ,
And people are bound to change
And bridges are meant for burnin ,
When the people and memories they just aren t the same
[Verse 3]
So I ll hope that you can find another who can take what I could not
He ll have to be a super guy or maybe a super god
Cause I never was much of a martyr before
And I ain t bout to start nothin new
And baby, I can t hang upon no lover s cross for you.
