Lyrics
Just tell me that we’re through
And make it easy on yourself
Make it easy on yourself
‘Cause breaking up is so very hard to do
And if the way I hold you
Can’t compare to his caress
No words of consolation
Will make me miss you less
My darling, if this is goodbye
I just know I’m gonna die
So run to him
Before, before you start to cry
And make it easy on yourself
Make it easy on yourself
‘Cause breaking up is so very hard to do
Make it easy on yourself
Make it easy on yourself
‘Cause breaking up is so very hard to do
Breaking up is so very hard to do
