"In This Cement Apartment" (full version lyrics)
Music/Lyrics by Velvet Doll/Jessie S. Copyright, 2007
In this cement apartment,
Why do we tear each other apart again?
Apart from things we've said and done in the past,
We're packing up -
What made us think that this would last?
You say that I turned on you,
But you don't see just quite what you've turned into,
And turning time won't change anything,
It's obvious there was always something missing.
(Bridge)
The shouting in halls,
Our boxes line the walls,
And Ohhhh - the way we fought,
Everything is so much worse than I thought....
We tried so hard to hold on to the past,
But all we did, ever,
Was hold each other back,
Even back when we would hold each other dear,
We're backwards now,
Holding things that aren't there...
In this cement apartment...
