ANOTHER DOOMED RELATIONSHIP

Another doomed relationship
Why do we even try?
A ticket for rhe Titanic
Wave your dignity goodbye
Another doomed relationship
We’ve been down this road before
We cling on by our fingertips
Till we can’t cling anymore

You find someone new
They seem sweet and nice
So you text for a while
And you meet once or twice
You talk about life
And you meet all their friends
But deep down you know
Where it’s all going to end
Yeah, it’s just…

Another doomed relationship
Why do we even try?
A ticket for the Titanic
Wave your dignity goodbye
Another doomed relationship
We’ve been down this road before
We cling on by our fingertips
Till we can’t cling anymore

That teenage romance
That dating app match
That colleague from work
Who gave you that rash
Again and again
Like moths to a flame
We dream of true love
But the outcome’s the same
Oh, it’s just…

Another doomed relationship
Why do we even try?
A ticket for the Titanic
Wave your dignity goodbye
Another doomed relationship
We’ve been down this road before
We cling on by our fingertips
Till we can’t cling anymore
It’s the hope that kills you
It’s the hope
It’s the hope that kills you
It’s the hope
