(Soft piano chords, muted trumpet)
Mmm, yeah...
The shadow of your ring falls on my heart.
You call me late at night, whispering your sighs,
Saying that you love me, under smoky skies.
But then the morning comes, and you fade away,
Another busy excuse to start the day.
I hear the ticking clock, I see through the spin,
I know where you go when the nights close in.
So Iām giving you space, stepping out of the light,
No more waiting up for you in the middle of the night.
You belong to another, though you swear you are mine,
I'm pouring out the shadows, leaving behind the wine.
Yes, Iām giving you space, oh...
The silence in my room tells a truer tale,
A love kept in the dark is bound to grow pale.
You say you're tied up, but I know the truth,
I won't spend my seasons waiting on your youth.
It's time to blow the candle out, let the music fade,
And step out of this fragile shade we made.
So Iām giving you space, stepping out of the light,
No more waiting up for you in the middle of the night.
You belong to another, though you swear you are mine,
I'm pouring out the shadows, leaving behind the wine.
Yes, Iām giving you space.
Just a quiet room...
Letting go of the chase.
Mmm, giving you space.
