Blank Space
Rhodes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I could show you incredible things
Magic, madness, heaven, sin
Saw you there and I thought
Oh my God, look at that face
You look like my next mistake
Love's a game, wanna play?
I can read you like a magazine
Ain't it funny, rumors fly
And I know you heard about me
So hey, let's be friends
I'm dying to see how this one ends
Grab your passport and my hand
I can make the bad guys good for a weekend
So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game
'Cause we're young and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name
Cherry lips, crystal skies
I could show you incredible things
Stolen kisses, pretty lies
You're the King, baby, I'm your Queen
Find out what you want
Be that girl for a month
Wait, the worst is yet to come, oh no
Screaming, crying, perfect storms
I can make all the tables turn
Rose garden filled with thorns
Keep you second guessing like
"Oh my God, who is she?"
I get drunk on jealousy
But you'll come back each time you leave
'Cause, darling, I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream
So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game
'Cause we're young and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name
Boys only want love if it's torture
Don't say I didn't say, I didn't warn ya
Boys only want love if it's torture
Don't say I didn't say, I didn't warn ya
So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game
'Cause we're young and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name
The song "Blank Space" by Rhodes describes a relationship that is based on playing games with each other's emotions. The lyrics imply a sense of instability, as the singer seems to be unaware of the consequences of their actions. The song begins with an invitation to play, as if the singer is tempting someone into their world: "Nice to meet you, where you been? / I could show you incredible things / Magic, madness, heaven, sin." The singer is confident in their ability to charm and manipulate their partner, claiming that they can make the "bad guys good for a weekend."
The chorus of the song repeats the idea that the relationship will either last forever or end in flames. The singer acknowledges that their behavior is destructive and that they have a long history of failed relationships, but still pursues their partner because they enjoy "the game." The song's bridge suggests that the singer's jealousy will inevitably lead to problems in the relationship, but their partner keeps coming back because the singer is a "nightmare dressed like a daydream."
Overall, the song captures the thrill of the chase in a toxic relationship, but also the potential for destruction that comes with it.

Oh my God, look at that face
You look like my next mistake
Love's a game, wanna play?
I just met you but I'm already thinking about the possibility of getting hurt because of love, do you want to take that risk with me?
New money, suit and tie
I can read you like a magazine

I'm dying to see how this one ends
Grab your passport and my hand
I can make the bad guys good for a weekend
I can tell by your appearance and reputation that you're new to this lifestyle, but I'm also aware that people talk about me. Let's take a chance on each other and I'll show you a good time, even if it's temporary

Whatever happens between us will either last forever or end explosively. Once it's all said and done, you can decide if it was worth the emotional toll. I have a reputation for being crazy when it comes to love, but you know that's what makes it fun for you
'Cause we're young and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far

We'll push the boundaries and potentially hurt each other, but that's the thrill of it all. I have a history of failed relationships, but you can be the one to change it all. I have a blank slate and I want to make you a permanent part of it
Cherry lips, crystal skies

Stolen kisses, pretty lies
You're the King, baby, I'm your Queen
Find out what you want
Be that girl for a month
Wait, the worst is yet to come, oh no
I can give you a beautiful and exciting experience, but it's all a façade. You're the one in control and I'll be whoever you want me to be. Just remember, bad things are always around the corner
Screaming, crying, perfect storms

Rose garden filled with thorns
Keep you second guessing like
'Oh my God, who is she?'
I get drunk on jealousy
But you'll come back each time you leave
'Cause, darling, I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream
I can make everything go from good to bad in an instant, but I'll also make everything go from bad to good. There are beautiful things in life, but there's also a lot of pain. You never know what to expect with me, but that's just part of the adventure
Boys only want love if it's torture
Don't say I didn't say, I didn't warn ya
Boys only want love if it's torture
Don't say I didn't say, I didn't warn ya
I have a warning for you: boys tend to only want love if it involves pain and drama. Don't say I didn't forewarn you
But I've got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name
My heart is empty and it's waiting for someone to fill it up. That person is you and I want to make sure everyone knows it
