Guess that it was bound to happen
Just a matter of time
Well, I've come to my decision
And it's one of the painful kind

'Cause it seems like you wanted a martyr
Just a regular guy couldn't do
Oh, baby, I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you

Well, I really gotta hand it to ya
Girl, you really tried
But for every time that we spent laughin'
There were two times that I cried

You were tryin' to make me your martyr
And that's one thing I just couldn't do
So, baby, I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you

Tables are meant for turnin'
People are bound to change
Bridges are meant for burnin'
When the people and memories they join aren't the same

So I hope that you can find another
Who could take what I could not
He'd 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
Oh, baby, I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you

Tables are meant for turnin'
People are bound to change
And bridges are meant for burnin'
When the people and memories they join aren't the same

So I hope that you can find another
Who could 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
