The Old Apartment

Broke into the old apartment
This is where we used to live
Broken windows, broke and hungry
Broken hearts and broken bones
This is where we used to live
[Chorus]
Why did you paint the walls?
Why did you paint the floors?
Why did you plaster over the hole I made in the door?
Where we used to live
Why did you steal the dish rack?
Why did you steal the mousetrap?
These things used to be mine
I guess they still are, I want them back
Broke into the old apartment
This is where we used to live
Broken glass, broke and hungry
Broken hearts and broken bones
This is where we used to live
[Outro]
Broke into the old apartment
