You probably believe I think its a mistake
I just wanted to give you more space
I have wanted to speak to you in person
But when your words come trickling down
my spine like wax down a burning candle,
I can't help softening but I won't wait
I won't wait, till I have given you  more space

Its hard to find, there's no time to seek a heaven,
Where we can be be as happy as we want.
Sometimes I love you, other times I don't want you
Where do we separate these hearts from logic
Just like we always hated was distance, time and space
I am giving you back the space

So its over, yet you still sit in the dark
Counting all the cases of pity cursing yesterday.
We account for all the pain, all the lost songs.
All the stories you tell, don't they bring
You to your knees when you talk to your god
When you scratch the surface of my memories
Is this not what you wanted?
I'd rather give you this space

I swear I am not trying to make any trouble
I am trying to buy you some more time
To think of me, and to think of you
Look at the skies. They've been falling
Since we took back our last sweet words
See the stars have fallen since the last kiss
I promised you the galaxies and the stars
But now I'm giving you your space
It's interesting how we invite people into our lives because we want  them to occupy a space only for  parties to decide they need their  space
