Lyrics

I doublecross 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  
  
Tell me why don't we try  
Not to break our hearts and make it so hard for ourselves?  
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
