I'll Sail This Ship Alone
Beautiful South And The Housemartins Lyrics

If, if you choose that we will always lose
If you choose to end our relationship or not put in the effort to make it work, then I will end it and move on alone.

Well then I'll sail this ship alone
I am prepared to move on without you and take control of my own life and happiness.

And if, if you decide to give him another try
If you choose to leave me for someone else and try to make things work with them instead, I will still move on without you.

Well they said if I wrote the perfect love song
People have given me advice on how to win you back, including writing the perfect love song.

You would take me back
They believed that if I wrote the perfect love song, you would forgive me and come back to me.

Well I wrote it but I lost it
I attempted to write the perfect love song, but it didn't come out as planned and I lost it.

And now will you take me back anyway
Even if I did manage to write the perfect love song, would you still come back to me after all that has happened?

Now if, if you insist that this is for the best
If you believe that ending our relationship is the best thing to do, then I will accept it and move on alone.

Well then I'll sail this ship alone
I am willing to take responsibility for my own life and happiness, even if it means leaving you behind.

And if, if you swear that you no longer care
If you truly don't care about our relationship anymore, then I am prepared to move on alone.

I'll sail this ship alone
I will take control of my own life and happiness, even if that means doing it alone.

Between the pain and the pleasure
Life is full of ups and downs, and I am willing to face them all on my own.

Amongst the sharks and the treasure
I am ready to face whatever challenges come my way, including danger and the possibility of great rewards.

If you would rather go your way then go your way
If you would rather not be a part of my life, then I am prepared to move forward alone without you.

If, if you're afraid that I won't make the grade
If you don't believe in my ability to make things work, then I am prepared to take that risk and try anyway.

And if, if you agree to him instead of me
If you choose someone else over me, then I will accept it and move on alone.

Well they said if I wrote the perfect letter
People have given me advice on how to win you back, including writing the perfect letter.

That I would have a chance
They believed that if I wrote the perfect letter, I would have a chance to win you back.

Well I wrote it, and you burnt it
I attempted to write the perfect letter, but you did not receive it well and even destroyed it.

And now do I have a chance anyway
Even if I did manage to write the perfect letter, would you still give me a chance after all that has happened?

I'll sail this ship alone
No matter what happens, I will take control of my own life and happiness and move on alone.
