I think the first line in the last verse is, "One minute, 1, and one minute, 2," but that's just what it sounds like to me. It definitely doesn't sound like "born...doomed."
This song doesn't seem terribly metaphoric. A lot of people wrote songs about lovers who didn't know how to behave in a relationship. This particular person, who happens to be a lady, seems to make things more complicated than they need to be, creating fusses over nothing, etc., as well as being indecisive or extreme with reactions.
Ironically, they're often the first ones to cheat, physically assault someone, or do something sneaky or passive-aggressive. Their partners (the singer in this case) are often the types that like to keep things simple and don't pile on layers of intrigue; so they don't understand what hell is going on half the time with the reactions, accusations, and attempts at finding complexity in what should be fairly simple and straightforward situations. It tends to be the quick end of the honeymoon period; and with particularly egregious retaliatory behavior, it causes a very bad breakup--probably for the best, too.
All of us, at least once in our lives, have either met people like this, or were people like this (or both!).
