Oh, breaking up is so very hard to do If you really love him And there's nothing I can do Don't try to spare my feelings 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 him 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 cry So run to him Before you start crying too And make it easy on yourself Make it easy on yourself Cause breaking up is so very hard to do Oh, baby, it's so hard to do
