Guess that it was bound to happen Was just a matter of time 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 up on no lover's cross for you
You really got to hand it to ya 'cause girl, you really tried But for every time that we spent laughing, there were two times that I cried
And you were trying to make me your martyr And that's the one thing I just couldn't do 'cause baby, I can't hang up on no lover's cross for you
'Cause tables are meant for turning And people are bound to change And bridges are meant for burning when the people and memories they join aren't the same
Still I hope that you can find another who can take what I could not
He'll have to be a super guy or he maybe a super god
'Cause I never was much of a martyr before And I ain't bout to start nothing new and baby, I can't hang up on no lover's cross for you
