intermission.

[Instrumental]
[Verse 1]
Can't focus on shit like that anymore,
made me feel like I was wrong and what for,
asked you to explain but you never said so –
and I didn't know.

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Can't read your mind, and I've tried, many times –
to put you first, over us, over I.
Don't see why, how I cared, so badly –
but this must be, what we need.

[Chorus 1]
Space, in a thousand ways – I can't replace you,
time, take all that you need – 'cause I wouldn't try to.

[Verse 2]
Don't think I could blame myself anymore,
played the villain far too long and I'm sorry,
that you had to use me to heal from your shortcomings –
and they'll never haunt me.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Can't press rewind, put aside, all the times –
I've held you close, in my heart, in my eyes.
Hate that I, how I cared, so badly –
yet this must be, what we need.

[Chorus 2]
Space, in a thousand ways – I can't forget you,
time, take all that you need – I need some time too.

[Instrumental Out]
