Lyrics

Spaces

Who's gonna be the first one to start the fight? Who's gonna be the first one to fall asleep at night? Who's gonna be the last one to drive away? Who's gonna be the last one to forget this place?

We keep taking turns (Oh-oh-oh-oh) Will we ever learn?

Oh, spaces between us keep getting deeper It's harder to reach ya, even though I've tried Spaces between us, hold all our secrets Leaving us speechless and I don't know why Who's gonna be the first to say goodbye?

Who's gonna be the first one to compromise? Who's gonna be the first one to set it all on fire? Who's gonna be the last one to drive away? Forgetting every single promise we ever made

Oh, spaces between us keep getting deeper It's harder to reach ya, even though I've tried Spaces between us, hold all our secrets Leaving us speechless and I don't know why Who's gonna be the first to say goodbye?

We keep taking turns (Oh-oh-oh-oh) Will we ever learn? (Oh-oh-oh-oh) When will we learn?

Oh, spaces between us keep getting deeper It's harder to reach ya, even though I've tried Spaces between us, hold all our secrets Leaving us speechless and I don't know why Who's gonna be the first to say goodbye?

Who's gonna be the first to say goodbye?

The spaces between us The spaces between us The spaces between us The spaces between us

From Dork

One Direction on Dork

What were Harry Styles’ unreleased songs ‘Anna’ and ‘Medicine’?

Harry Styles introduced ‘Medicine’ and ‘Anna’ at a 2018 tour show in Basel, offering two different glimpses beyond his debut album’s tracklist.

Niall Horan has honoured Liam Payne with ‘End of an Era’ tour tribute

Niall Horan played Liam Payne’s voice during ‘End of an Era’ at the Birmingham opening night of his Dinner Party Live on Tour.

Louis Tomlinson’s solo story has always made room for the crowd

From ‘All Of Those Voices’ to a headline show at The O2, Louis Tomlinson’s solo career has repeatedly framed success as something built with, rather than simply delivered to, his audience.

One Direction have released a joint statement on the passing of Liam Payne, while Louis Tomlinson pays tribute to "the kind brother I'd longed all my life for"

"We will miss him terribly. We love you Liam."
