Space

You say you're needing space
You say you need to take time away
Make me wait, I ain't okay
You say you're needing space

Guess that I had seen this coming
All those nights filled with pointless fights
Somehow I eventually knew that one of us would end up running
Thought it'd be me
The need to free was so damn loud in my head it would scream
Every time that your eyes couldn't see
I just couldn't breathe
I'd beg and I'd plead
For you to understand my heart was on lock and only you had a key
But you wouldn't listen
Every time I made a point, it just wound up missing
Unhealthy living, constant suspicion
The mistakes that I made were never forgiven
I tried and I tried
You cried and you cried
Time after time both said it'd be alright but I think deep down
We both knew it was a lie
Couldn't see eye to eye so when you said goodbye, so much in me died
Still I couldn't hide
Every memory kept replaying in my mind
Everything we shared wasn't easy to find
So I don't know what you thought by leaving my side
Maybe you assumed like you do that you'd go and do you
Finding purpose and truth
That when you'd be through everything would be cool
I was a fool that summer night in June when

You say you're needing space
You say you need to take time away
Make me wait, I ain't okay
You say you're needing space

Thought this would've made me break
Knew we had problems but everyone's got'em
Figured that we'd solve'em before we hit the bottom
We couldn't escape
Swerving through the lanes tryna slam on the brakes
We hit a road block every turn we would take
Got to the point where the damage couldn't be bandaged
Couldn't understand it
When, why and how did every little thing become such a challenge?
Swore that we had it
Our hearts kept fighting our egos, swinging in the balance
The miscommunication became such a habit
How did we manage?
I loved you, you loved me
But somewhere down the line it just turned ugly
Never thought I'd see the day my past would make you judge me
Letting hearsay cause severe pain believing everyone but me
I guess it's for the best that you got it off your chest
So I'm left with nothing less than debris from the mess
Was lying on the ground, drowning out the sounds tryna catch my own breath
Every word that was said stayed stuck in my head as I cried and I bled
And my demons was fed
It'll never be the same, it's a shame we fell victim to this infamous game

You say you're needing space
You say you need to take time away
Make me wait, I ain't okay
You say you're needing space

Girl this is your favorite song and I'll help you sing along
All these things you did to me after all our history
This love isn't shit to me, ain't no getting rid of me
I had an epiphany that I could live a bigger dream
I told you once and I'll tell you again
Love me or nothing, cannot be your friend
If you don't want me then this is the end
Look at the city, I sit on the ledge
Drive off a cliff and I drive off the edge
I thought I died it was all in my head
Now I drown myself in liquor, I've been awful selfish with you
Erase all these cell phone pictures
Stories never told, I got a million ain't written yet
You believed in me and lost your faith and then the vision left
Maybe you'll love someone more with bigger hearts and bigger checks
I've been shedding tears and ripping pages since the day you left
