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

[Chorus]
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 tore 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,
Mistakes, you can't have your cake and eat it,
'Cause any real man would up and leave,
But I guess that's more than you can be,
Let me help you out, I'ma leave right now.

[Chorus]
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 tore my picture out your frame,
And I won't be around when you figure out,
You got exactly what you asked for,
Space.

Space,
Where my kiss should be, in your arms where they used to be holdin' 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'm about to be a memory.

[Chorus]
Now 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 tore 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,
Ooh, baby,
I'm so gone,
You got me saying bye...
