Carpenters - breaking up is hard to do

이 노래는 이별의 어려움과 아픔을 표현하며, 사랑하는 사람과의 재연락을 갈망합니다
화자는 과거의 아름다운 기억을 언급하며, 이별 대신 새로운 시작을 원합니다
결국 이별이 가장 힘든 일임을 강조합니다

Come-a come-a down, dooby, do, down, down
Come-a come-a down, dooby, do, down, down
Come-a come-a down, dooby, do, down, down
Breaking up is hard to do
Don't take your love away from me
Don't you leave my heart in misery
If you go then I’ll be blue
‘Cause breaking up is hard to do
Remember when you held me tight
And you kissed me all through the night
Think of all that we been through
Breaking up is hard to do
They say that breaking up is hard to do
Now I know, I know that it’s true
Don't say that this is the end
Instead of breaking up I wish that we were making up again
I beg of you don't say good-bye
Can't we give our love another try
Come on, baby, let’s start a new
‘Cause breaking up is hard to do
I beg of you don't say good-bye
Can't we give our love another try
Come on, baby, let’s start a new
‘Cause breaking up is hard to do
Yeah, breaking up is hard to do
