In a November 2nd interview with Crave online, Frankel said of Negative Space:
“I like the term. I was thinking about the push and pull. This middle ground, whether it’s in a partnership or relationship when two people are unable to occupy a common space.
In a creative partnership it’s a waiting g...
Did I wait?
Or hesitate?
Did I stutter when I said I’d be there, babe?
Didn’t I call?
Or give my all?
Is there another who could make you feel this way?
It’s not what you do, it’s what you don’t do
It’s not what you say, it’s what you don’t say
It’s not what you choose, it’s what you won’t choose
It’s not that I’m gone, it’s that I’m goin’ away
Why can’t you see what you mean to me?
It’s not who you are, it’s who you can’t be
It’s not what you were, it’s what they said you did
It’s the negative space, babe, that’s what it is
It’s the negative space
Why can’t you see?
Why can’t you see?
Cuz it feels like it’s staring you right in the face
Why can’t you choose?
Why can’t you lose?
It’s the same fight, like every night, same place
It’s the negative space
Was I late?
Did I flake?
I don’t wanna share or split it up two ways
Cuz I want it all
And that’s for sure
There’s no other who could make me feel this way
It’s not what you do, it’s what you don’t do
It’s not what you say, it’s what you don’t say
It’s not what you choose, it’s what you won’t choose
It’s not that you’re gone, it’s that you went away
Why can’t you see what you mean to me?
It’s not who you are, it’s who you can’t be
It’s not what you were, it’s what they said you did
It’s the negative space, babe, that’s what it is
It’s the negative space
Why can’t you see?
Why can’t you see?
Cuz it feels like it’s staring you right in the face
Why can’t you choose?
Why can’t you lose?
It’s the same fight, like every night, same place
It’s the negative space
It’s the negative space
It’s the negative space
It’s the same fight, like every night, same place
It’s the negative space
It’s the negative space
It’s the same fight, like every night, same place
Why can’t you see?
Why can’t you see?
Cuz it feels like it’s staring me right in the face
Why can’t you choose?
Why can’t you lose?
It’s the same fight, like every night, same place
It’s the negative space
It’s the negative space
It’s the negative space
