Apartment

Number 417, got its own balcony
A red leather couch and some fresh paint
A brand-new start with a clean slate
No chance I’ll see a happy you and me
Hangin’ down the hall in a cheap frame
No gettin’ hung up on the heartbreak

Ooh, so why do I feel like I could cry
Ooh, why am I afraid to turn out the lights

If I’da known this apartment
Was a concrete space to fall apart in
I’d be cussin’ on the bathroom floor
Wishin’ I’d never walked out that door
If I’da known that lonely
Was layin’ in the bed waitin’ for me
Not sure that I coulda called it quits
Not sure that I’d do it all again
If I’da known what apart meant
If I’da known what apart meant

Yeah, it turns out, the quiet’s too loud
I’ve tried a chain lock with a deadbolt
But your memory just climbs through the window

Ooh, I thought this would be the right move for me
Ooh, but I’m thinkin’ I never would’ve ever signed the lease

If I’da known this apartment
Was a concrete space to fall apart in
I’d be cussin’ on the bathroom floor
Wishin’ I’d never walked out that door
If I’da known that lonely
Was layin’ in the bed waitin’ for me
Not sure that I coulda called it quits
Not sure that I’d do it all again
If I’da known what apart meant
If I’da known what apart meant

‘Cause I thought it was freedom feelin’ like myself again
Nobody told me that slowly, the walls start closin’ in
I mighta done it different

If I’da known this apartment
Was a concrete space to fall apart in
I’d be cussin’ on the bathroom floor
Wishin’ I’d never walked out that door
If I’da known that lonely
Was layin’ in the bed waitin’ for me
Not sure that I coulda called it quits
Not sure that I’d do it all again
If I’da known what apart meant
If I’da known what apart meant
