[Verse 1: Niall & Louis]
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?

[Pre-Chorus: Zayn]
We keep taking turns, will we ever learn?

[Chorus: All & Harry]
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?

[Verse 2: Liam & Louis]
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

[Chorus: All & Liam]
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?

[Bridge: Zayn]
We keep taking turns, will we ever learn?
When will we learn?

[Chorus: All & Harry & Niall]
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

One Direction was an English-Irish pop band based in London, consisting of Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, and previously Zayn Malik. They signed with Simon Cowell’s record label Syco Records after being formed and finishing third in the seventh series of the British televised singing competition The X Factor in 2010. Check out their journey on the competition here.

Propelled to international success by the power of social media, their two albums Up All Night and Take Me Home, released in 2011 and 2012 respectively, broke several records, topped the charts of most major markets, and generated hit singles, including “What Makes You Beautiful” and “Live While We’re Young.”

Their third album, Midnight Memories, introduced a maturing sound. Singles including “Best Song Ever” and “Story of My Life” became smash hits. The music video for “Best Song Ever” even broke the one-day Vevo record, racking up 10.9 million views in 24 hours.
