Lyrics

Rom-Com Gone Wrong

New day, wet shave, this is a different phase
No shame, I'm dead without her
Her veins, her face, some things you can't erase
Take trains and watch the weather

This looks nothing like my life really should
She's gone and made somebody else hers
I feel just like I'm part of a Rom-Com gone wrong

She had no mask
Nobody understands
That's that, goodbye everything
Long baths, podcasts
I'm crying when I'm smashed
Haha, welcome to grieving

This looks nothing like my life really should
She's gone and made somebody else hers
I feel just like I'm part of a Rom-Com gone wrong

And it's so hard to really let you be
I'm just the start of your documentary
These days I'm gone, I go for anything
I think I see you down every fucking street

This looks nothing like my life really should
She's shacked up with someone really good
I feel just like I'm part of a Rom-Com gone wrong
