Irish Rose

So sad that this is how it turned out to be
I know it’s hard to keep your head above water
Your unsung melodies are lost in the deep
Life can get heavy even for a rebel daughter

You had your back to the crowd
You had your back to the wall
Now we’re all blaming ourselves
We never saw it at all

Oh oh oh, Irish Rose
Still singing while the curtains close
Oh oh, Irish Rose
Long live the summer
We saw your true colors
The rest of the story we know
All too well
Oh, oh, oh
Irish Rose

I can’t believe it hasn’t happened to me
I see myself inside the pages of your story
Sometimes I wonder if I’m lost in a dream
And if I’ve got the same old ending waiting for me

Oh oh oh, Irish Rose
Still singing while the curtains close
Oh oh, Irish Rose
Long live the summer
We saw your true colors
The rest of the story we know
All too well
Oh, oh, oh
Irish Rose

Long live the summer
We saw your true colors
The rest of the story we know
All too well
Oh, oh, oh
Irish Rose
