They all said it was bound to happen, was just a matter of time
Now I ve come to my decision, and it s one of the painful kind
Well it seems that you wanted a martyr,
Just a regular girl wouldn t do
No baby, I can t hang upon a lovers cross for you.
I really gotta hand it to ya, boy you really tried
But for every time that we spent laughing
There were two times that I cried,
Cause I never was much of a martyr before,
And I ain t gonna start nothin new
Oh baby, I can t hang upon a lovers cross for you.
Tables are meant for turnin
And people are bound to change
Bridges are meant for burnin
When people in memories aren t one in the same.
Still I hope that you can find another who could take what I could not
She would have to be a super girl or maybe a Joan of Arc
Now I never was much of a martyr before
And I ain t gonna start nothin new
Oh baby, I can t hang upon a lovers cross for you
Tables are meant for turnin
And people are bound to change
Bridges are meant for burnin
When people in memories aren t one in the same.
Still I hope that you can find another who can take what I could not
She would have to be a super girl or maybe a Joan of Arc
Now I never was much of a martyr before
And I ain t gonna start nothin new
Oh baby, I can t hang upon a lovers cross for....
I can t hang upon a lovers cross, no baby
I won t hang upon a lovers cross for you.
End.
