Space (Introducing Melody Thornton)

The plan was to let me down gently

I know the game was to call it temporary

Oh

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

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, mmm

Mistakes, you can't have your cake and eat it

Nah, nah

'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

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 tore my picture out your frame

And I won't be around when you figure out

Exactly what you asked for, 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

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, baby
