The Apartment

I had my suspicions and you had your own

A thousand dirty dishes and a broken home

Back when we started, before the apartment, hey now

I know you won't admit it but you had to know

I know it's hard to quit, hard to let it go

As hard as we've fallen, gonna hit the floor

Lay down, lay down

I know, things will get harder

I know, I've lost my manners

If so, like it or not I speak from the heart

Yeah, you see I forgot how to hold your hand

Forgot how to be your man

Hope that you understand me when I say

I needed to be alone

Needed some time to grow

This will be better for us both

I know the feeling and it hasn't caught you by surprise

I've heard it from your friends a million times

Mothers to daughters, fathers to sons

Lay down, lay down

Won't let it get the best of me

No, I don't need no sympathy

I've got to move now, yeah

Move out, move out

I know, things will get harder

I know, I've lost my manners

If so, like it or not I speak from the heart

Yeah, you see I forgot how to hold your hand

Forgot how to be your man

Hope that you understand me when I say

I needed to be alone

Needed some time to grow

This will be better for us both
