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 give 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)

So hard
We make it so hard
 

It's A Sin
Pet Shop Boys

(Twenty seconds and counting...
 two minus fifteen seconds, guidance is okay)

When I look back upon my life
It's always with a sense of shame
I've always been the one to blame
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too

        It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
        It's a sin
        Everything I've ever done
        Everything I ever do
        Every place I've ever been
        Everywhere I'm going to
        It's a sin

At school they taught me how to be
So pure in thought and word and deed
They didn't quite succeed
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too

        It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
        It's a sin
        Everything I've ever done
        Everything I ever do
        Every place I've ever been
        Everywhere I'm going to
        It's a sin

Father, forgive me, I tried not to do it
Turned over a new leaf, then tore right through it
Whatever you taught me, I didn't believe it
Father, you fought me, 'cause I didn't care
And I still don't understand

So I look back upon my life
Forever with a sense of shame
I've always been the one to blame
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too

        It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
        It's a sin
        Everything I've ever done
        Everything I ever do
        Every place I've ever been
        Everywhere I'm going to - it's a sin

        It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
        It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin

in thought, word, act and omission, through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault"
