Space (feat. Downtown & Alex Marie Brinkley)

You say you're needing space You say you need to take time away Make me wait, I ain't okay You say you're needing space Guess that I had seen this coming All those nights filled with pointless fights Somehow I eventually knew that one of us would end up running Thought it'd be me The need to free was so damn loud in my head it would scream Every time that your eyes couldn't see I just couldn't breathe I'd beg and I'd plead For you to understand my heart was on lock and only you had a key But you wouldn't listen Every time I made a point, it just wound up missing Unhealthy living, constant suspicion The mistakes that I made were never forgiven I tried and I tried You cried and you cried Time after time both said it'd be alright but I think deep down We both knew it was a lie Couldn't see eye to eye so when you said goodbye, so much in me died Still I couldn't hide Every memory kept replaying in my mind Everything we shared wasn't easy to find So I don't know what you thought by leaving my side Maybe you assumed like you do that you'd go and do you Finding purpose and truth That when you'd be through everything would be cool I was a fool that summer night in June when You say you're needing space You say you need to take time away Make me wait, I ain't okay You say you're needing space Thought this would've made me break Knew we had problems but everyone's got'em Figured that we'd solve'em before we hit the bottom We couldn't escape Swerving through the lanes tryna slam on the brakes We hit a road block every turn we would take Got to the point where the damage couldn't be bandaged Couldn't understand it When, why and how did every little thing become such a challenge? Swore that we had it Our hearts kept fighting our egos, swinging in the balance The miscommunication became such a habit How did we manage? I loved you, you loved me But somewhere down the line it just turned ugly Never thought I'd see the day my past would make you judge me Letting hearsay cause severe pain believing everyone but me I guess it's for the best that you got it off your chest So I'm left with nothing less than debris from the mess Was lying on the ground, drowning out the sounds tryna catch my own breath Every word that was said stayed stuck in my head as I cried and I bled And my demons was fed It'll never be the same, it's a shame we fell victim to this infamous game You say you're needing space You say you need to take time away Make me wait, I ain't okay You say you're needing space Girl this is your favorite song and I'll help you sing along All these things you did to me after all our history This love isn't shit to me, ain't no getting rid of me I had an epiphany that I could live a bigger dream I told you once and I'll tell you again Love me or nothing, cannot be your friend If you don't want me then this is the end Look at the city, I sit on the ledge Drive off a cliff and I drive off the edge I thought I died it was all in my head Now I drown myself in liquor, I've been awful selfish with you Erase all these cell phone pictures Stories never told, I got a million ain't written yet You believed in me and lost your faith and then the vision left Maybe you'll love someone more with bigger hearts and bigger checks I've been shedding tears and ripping pages since the day you left
