Space

I love you

There's no doubt

But give me some space to breathe

I want you like no-one else

But give me some space to breathe

My love for you will flourish more

If you give me what I'm yearning for

Just a little space to call my own

My wish for a little solitude

Is not some empty platitude

But I've lived so long on my own

I don't want to push you away

Or save you for a rainy day

I just need some time for me

I don't want to hurt you at all

Or rub salt in any wound

I just need some space for me

Space is all I need

Just a little space

Is all I need

So, give me a little space

I love you

There's no doubt

But give me some space to breathe

I want you like no-one else

But give me some space to breathe

I know you've got good intentions

So here's my well meant intervention

I am rather stuck in my ways

So please try not to suffocate me

Invade my space and overwhelm me

I just need to adjust at my own pace

So give me the space that I crave

And you'll soon see how it pays

In the long run

We'll be in a better place

You and I will surely survive

And there's no doubt in my mind

But give me some time

Give me some space to breathe

Space is all I need

Just a little space

Is all I need

So, give me a little space

I love you

There's no doubt

But give me some space to breathe

I want you like no-one else

But give me some space to breathe
