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
