All I ask is for some space;
Some time to reflect; to set my own pace;
But there you are always in my face.
I know you believe you’re comforting me;
Providing support in my time of need;
But it’s all so smothering -- don’t you see?
All I need is some space to breathe;
Some time alone so I can grieve;
I beg you please to take your leave.
Off you go and I’m all alone;
In this empty house I pace and roam;
A painful absence in our home.
Come back my darling and hold me tight;
Tell me all will be alright;
Then give me a little space tonight.
