I don't see you You're not in every window I look through And I don't miss you You're not in every single thing I do I don't think we're meant to be And you are not the missing piece I won't hear it Whenever anybody says your name And I won't feel it Even when I'm burstin' into flames I don't regret the day I left I don't believe that I was blessed I'm probably lyin' to myself again I'm alone in my head And lookin' for love in this stranger's bed But I don't think I'll find it 'Cause only you could fill this empty space I wanna tell all my friends But I don't think they would understand It's somethin' I've decided 'Cause only you could fill this empty space Space, space This empty space Space, space This 'Cause only you could fill this empty space I've been drinking I've been doin' things I shouldn't do Overthinkin' I don't know who I am without you I'm a liar and a cheat I let my ego swallow me And that's why I might never see you again I'm alone in my head And lookin' for love in this stranger's bed But I don't think I'll find it 'Cause only you could fill this empty space I wanna tell all my friends But I don't think they would understand It's somethin' I've decided 'Cause only you could fill this empty space Space, space This empty space Space, space This 'Cause only you could fill this empty space How could I make you love me? How could I make you love me? How could I make you love me? How could I make you love me? How could I make you love me? How could I make you love me? How could I make you love me? (space, space) How could I make you love me? How could I make you love me? (space, space) How could I make you love me? How could I make you love me? How could I make you love me?
