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 painufl kind
Well, it seems that you wanted a martyr
Just a regular girl wouldn't do
Now baby, I can't hang on a lover's cross for you
I really got to hand it to you
Boy, you really tried
But for every time that we spent loving
There were two times that I cried
'Cause I never was much of a martyr before
And I ain't gonna start nothing new
Oh baby, I can't hang on a lover's cross for you
Tables are meant for turning
And people are bound to change
Bridges are meant for burning
When people and memories aren't one and the same
Still I hope that you can find another
Who could take what I could not
Now I never was much of a martyr before
And I ain't gonna start nothing new
Oh baby, I can't hang on a lover's cross for you
I won't hang upon a lover's cross for you
Oh baby, I can't hang upon a lover's cross for you.
