The plan was to let me down gently   I know the game was to call it temporary   Boy, be careful what you wish for   'Cause you might get that and so much more   I won't shed a tear if you don't 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 took 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   Mistake, you can't have your cake and eat it   'Cause any real man would have been here   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 took my picture out your frame   And I won't be around when you figure out   You got exactly what you asked for, space      Where my kiss should be   In your arms where they used to be holding 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'ma 'bout to be a memory   Now you've 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 took 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
