lyrics

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
