The Apartment We Won’t Share Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The apartment we won't share
I wonder what sad wife lives there
Have the windows deciphered her stares?
Do the bricks in the walls know to hide the affairs?
The dog we won't have is now one I would not choose
The daughter we won't raise still waits for you
The girl I won't be is the one that's yours
I hope you shortly find what you long for

[Verse 2]
Two years and some change, isn't it strange?
You're a full-fledged socialist, I go by a new name
The filthy joke that won't burrow in the corner
Of your smirking lips, I mourn it to this day
The story we won't tell is my greatest fantasy
The passion I won't feel again isn't lost on me
The son you never wanted is the wound your father left
And the mother I won't be is probably for the best

[Outro]
Your demons I won't meet
Now someone else's word to keep
I'm sure she's beautiful and sweet
Not what I wanted
But what we need

About

This song bio is unreviewed

“The Apartment We Won’t Share” is the fifth track on NIKI’s sophomore album Nicole. In this song, NIKI revisits the hypotheticals she and her partner created while they were still together, and how it contrasts to the people they are now after the relationship has ended.

Some of the things NIKI would’ve aspired to have in her previous relationship’s future are different from what she would want to have today. She recognizes that they’re both different people now, and no longer compatible as they used to be.
