Irish Goodbye Lyrics

Kacey Musgraves Irish Goodbye

[Verse 1]
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?

[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
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
