Irish Goodbye

Was I too much or was I a threat
To the vision you had, that you hadn't found yet?
I gave you some space, 'cause I wanted to see
If I mattered enough, would you come back to me?

No face-to-face, no eye-to-eye
I thought this meant more, but I guess that's alright
I'll forgive your faults if you'll forgive mine
But it's hard to forgive your Irish goodbye

You turned into a ghost, I wish you the best
Maybe one day you'll know I was not like the rest
I want to respect you, and you know I tried
But there ain't much respect in an Irish goodbye

No face-to-face, no eye-to-eye
I thought this meant more, but I guess that's alright
I'll forgive your faults if you'll forgive mine
But it's hard to forgive your Irish goodbye

Goodbye, goodbye, Irish goodbye
It's hard to forgive your Irish goodbye
Don't know if I can, maybe I'll try
But I'll never forget your Irish goodbye
