The plan was to let me down gently
I know the game was to call it temporary
Boy be careful what you wish for
'Cause you might get that and so much more
I won't shed a tear if you don't want me here

Boy I'll give you space
In the closet where my clothes should be
In that empty bed without me
Now I'm walking out the front door
You got exactly what you asked for
Space in your phone where it said my name
Where I took my picture out your frame
And I won't be around when you figure out
You got exactly what you asked for...
Space

Now wait
This ain't no way to be treated
Mistake
You can't have your cake and eat it
'Cause any real man would have been here
But I guess that's more than you can be
Let me help you out, I'ma leave right now

Boy you got your space
In the closet where my clothes should be
In that empty bed without me
Now I'm walking out the front door
You got exactly what you asked for
Space in your phone where it said my name
Where I took my picture out your frame
And I won't be around when you figure out
You got exactly what you asked for...
Space

Where my kiss should be
In your arms where they used to be holding me
In your car on the passenger side
There's an empty seat where I used to ride
Space in your mind when you think of me
'Cause I'ma bout to be a memory
Now you've got your space

In the closet where my clothes should be
In that empty bed without me
Now I'm walking out the front door
You got exactly what you asked for
Space in your phone where it said my name
Where I took my picture out your frame
And I won't be around when you figure out
You got exactly what you asked for...
Space

I'll give you your space
You got your space
You got exactly what you asked for
Baby, I'm so gone
You got me saying bye baby...
