Irish Goodbye

I know that I would pull an Irish goodbye when you get too close
Because I always feel safer when no one knows
It's not that I don't want to feel something
It's more that I do
But I would rather run away 
Then tell someone "I love you"
Because feelings are scary
And being alone is easier than being outwardly in love
Sue me for liking to be by myself
But loving announced is easier
Then running away with you
