The Space To Fall

I tried to play it cool but I fell right through all the ice
Now I'm grasping for something
Wishing I could change your mind
Frozen in time
Hanging by a line
Barely out a live
Always the same distance I recognize
One step a head of mine

I tried to skip a beat but my heart got speed up ahead of me
Now you're all up in your head saying this has gotta end
But you can't seem to leave
Running out of time
Covering my mind
Caught up on the high
Woke up from denial I realized
That you were never mine

That's when you gave me the
Space
To fall
When you turned and walked away
That's when you gave me the space to fall
When you couldn't pull the weight
But you carried all the blame
Then I buried all the pain
We were light years away
When you said it was too late
That's when you gave me the space to fall

And you know what they say
This one-way to love will drive you insane
But you hit me like a train
Now I'm stuck on the tracks heading the wrong way
But I know I can't stay
The closer I get the farther you aim to leave me hanging
Till you hit the breaks
And there I am back in the same fucking place
Always all about the chase
Like your liquor leave with a bitter taste
But you came on so strong
Should've known all along
But you never know what you've got till it's gone

So I took it in a smaller dose
Never let it get too close
Got too many live-in ghosts
Till I woke up from a nightmare searching for your body to hold
But your heart was an abandoned house
Yeah nobody was home

That's when you gave me the
Space
To fall
When you turned and walked away
That's when you gave me the space to fall
When you couldn't pull the weight
But you carried all the blame
Then I buried all the pain
We were light years away
When you said it was too late
That's when you gave me the space to fall

My head and heart were in a race
From that one look on your face
And I start to gravitate
Didn't wanna be afraid
And I thought you felt the same
Even knowing what they say
we're all islands anyway
And goodbye is just a wave
But I held on when you said maybe one day
You said maybe one day

That's when you gave me the
Space
To fall
When you turned and walked away
That's when you gave me the space to fall
When you couldn't pull the weight
But you carried all the blame
Then I buried all the pain
We were light years away
When you said it was too late
That's when you gave me the space to fall
When you turned and walked away
That's when you gave me the space to fall
