Space
СҰè×éºÏpussycat dolls Lyrics

The plan was to let me down gently
You intended to break up with me without hurting my feelings.

I know the game was to call it temporary
You wanted us to end our relationship, but you didn't have the courage to say it was over permanently.

Boy be careful what you wish for
You asked for space, and I'm giving it to you, but you may regret it later.

'Cause you might get that and so much more
I'm leaving you completely, not only physically but also emotionally.

I won't shed a tear if you don't want me here
I won't cry because you don't want me anymore.

Boy I'll give you space
I am leaving you and giving you the time and distance you want.

In the closet where my clothes should be
I'm removing all traces of myself from your life, starting with my belongings.

In that empty bed without me
You'll be sleeping alone from now on, without my presence.

Now I'm walking out the front door
I am physically leaving your house and your life.

You got exactly what you asked for
You wanted space, and now you have it.

Space in your phone where it said my name
I'm deleting my contact information from your phone, erasing all traces of myself.

Where I took my picture out your frame
I'm taking all my pictures off your walls and shelves, erasing my memories and presence.

And I won't be around when you figure out
I'm not going to be there to witness when you realize the consequences of what you asked for.

Now wait
You need to listen to what I have to say before I leave.

This ain't no way to be treated
You're mistreating me, and I won't tolerate it any longer.

Mistake
Your request for space was a mistake because you didn't think it through.

You can't have your cake and eat it
You can't expect to end a relationship but still have access to all the perks of being in one.

'Cause any real man would have been here
A real man would have stayed to work things out instead of running away.

But I guess that's more than you can be
You're not capable of being a real man and handling a mature relationship.

Let me help you out, I'ma leave right now
I'm making the decision for you since you can't seem to handle it yourself.

Boy you got your space
I'm reiterating that you now have the space you requested.

Where my kiss should be
I used to kiss you in this spot, but now it's empty and devoid of my love.

In your arms where they used to be holding me
The place where you used to hug me is now vacant.

In your car on the passenger side
Even the seat where I used to sit in your car is empty now.

There's an empty seat where I used to ride
I'm no longer physically with you, leaving the seat beside you empty.

Space in your mind when you think of me
Even your thoughts of me will be empty, with no presence or memory of me.

'Cause I'ma bout to be a memory
I'm leaving you permanently, and in time, I'll be nothing more than a faint memory.

Now you've got your space
I'm reminding you once again that you have the space you wanted.

I'll give you your space
I'm affirming that I'm leaving you to give you the space you requested.

Baby, I'm so gone
I'm completely and permanently gone from your life and your heart.

You got me saying bye baby...
I'm saying my final goodbye, leaving you to live with the consequences of what you asked for.
