Irish Name

We were a train on fire

We  were a car spinning out of control

We  were a sinking ship but I'd skip a breath when you grab my hips

And swept me off my feet

You couldn’t give me what I need

I  couldn't sleep when you were drinking

I  wanted you to change for me, for the better

I thought breaking you down was the best thing I could do

But  that was just another lie

‘Cause I wanted your Irish name

And I wanted the life I made, here inside my head

It wasn't meant to be

And  I hope you got to see the sunset wherever you are tonight

Wherever you are tonight

It’s just the same old shit, why do I keep doing this?

I put so much of myself into everybody else

What's in it for me? What about me?

Am I wasting all my time to see emptiness staring back at me

I thought breaking you down was the best thing I could do

And I wanted you to stay but there's nothing I can say or do

No

‘Cause I wanted your Irish name

And I wanted the life I made, here inside my head

It wasn't meant to be

And I hope you got to see the sunset wherever you are tonight

‘Cause I wanted your Irish name

And I wanted the life I made, here inside my head

It wasn't meant to be

And I hope you got to see the sunset wherever you are tonight

Wherever you are tonight

Wherever you are tonight

Wherever you are tonight
