When you asked for space, I stepped away
Cause I believed if I could wait
That you'd come back around
I never thought you'd roam
When you took your space
And I sat home alone
Well how could I have known
You'd find your next embrace
In all that space
When you asked for time, I stayed away
Cause I believed we'd be just fine
If you'd just think things through
Like you always do
When you need some time
So, I just bided mine
Imagine my surprise
When you said we're through
How could you?
Just smile and walk away
As the time and space
That you promised would be just a while
Turned into days and weeks
And birthdays come and gone
With just a card in the mail
Signed, Kind Regards, I'm movin' on
And by the time that you came back you were long gone
Then you made a list
Of all the things I need to fix so I can be
More like you, and less like me
I tried a little bit of therapy
To smooth out all my flaws
Well, I could be just like a god
Rolling boulders up that hill
Wearing boots my feet can't fill
How could you?
Just smile and walk away
As the time and space
That you promised would be just a while
Turned into days and weeks
With birthdays come and gone
And just a card in the mail
Signed, Kind Regards, I'm movin' on
And by the time that you came back you were long gone
You wanted better chemistry
Looking for a TV star
A doctor, six foot three
Or maybe anybody but me
And now you say we're gonna be fine
I'm gonna need a little space and time
