about

A boyfriend admits that he is no good for his woman and that the relationship is ill-fated; he attempts to swallow the bitter pill of saying goodbye prematurely.

lyrics

Please don't make me say I'm sorry / I hate to admit to my own fallibility / Let's just say we can't see eye to eye / And call off the search party for culpability / If you think you'll squeeze blood from this stone / You'll find yourself wrong and alone / We'd be better off just letting it go / Than trying to fix my stubborn Irish soul / It is no surprise to see you leave
I'm sympathetic I'm just not adaptable / Sometimes even I cannot believe / That my mentality is this intractable / I gave you no signs that I could change
Still you assumed I might that's strange / We both have no basis to complain / For trying to fix my stubborn Irish soul / We spent so long just crying / We spent so long just trying / We've spent too long just lying to ourselves / Walk me out your door and past your swing / Out of your driveway, then out of your life evermore / I'll make this last kiss worth everything / Because tomorrow I cannot have it anymore / Maybe we weren't really built to last / Still this goodbye came way too fast / Our laughter and love just couldn't outlast / Patience with my stubborn Irish soul
