The Space Between Lyrics

No way, no why
No care, no cry
No way, no sign
So fair, so fine

The way I see it
This relationship ain't right
The space between us
Better close it up tonight

No way, no why
No care, no cry

The space between us
Close it up tonight

No way, no sign
So fair, so fine

The way I see it
This relationship ain't right
The space
Listen here, listen, listen here, listen
We better close it up tonight

No way, no why
The space
No care, no cry
The space
No way, no sign
The space
So fair, so fine
No way, no why
The space
No care, no cry
The space

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
