I double-cross you
  And you get mysterious mail
  I've tried hard not to shock you
  It's hard not to with the things I could say
  Tell me why don't we try
  Not to break our hearts and make it so hard for ourselves?
  Why don't we try
  Not to break our hearts and make it so hard for ourselves?
    You lock your letters in a box
  And you've hidden the key
  I go one better - I'm indebted
  To a contact magazine
  Tell me why don't we try
  Not to break our hearts and make it so hard for ourselves?
  Why don't we try
  Not to break our hearts and make it so hard for us?
    Everybody's got to live together
  Just to find a little peace of mind there
  If you give up your affairs forever
  I will give up mine
  But it's hard
  So hard
    I'm always hoping you'll be faithful
  But you're not, I suppose
  We've both given up smoking 'cause it's fatal
  So whose matches are those?
  Tell me why don't we try
  Not to break our hearts and make it so hard for ourselves?
    We make it so hard
  (It's so hard)
    Tell me why don't we try
  Not to break our hearts and make it so hard
  Tell me why don't we try
  Not to break our hearts and make it so hard for ourselves?
  Not to break our hearts and make it so hard for ourselves?
  We make it so hard for ourselves
  We make it so hard
  So hard
  We make it so hard
