Lyrics
The apartment we won't share
The speaker reflects on a shared apartment that won't be.
I wonder what sad wife lives there
The speaker wonders about the life of a sad wife in a different context.
Have the windows deciphered her stares?
Questioning if the windows have revealed the emotions of the sad wife.
Do the bricks in the walls know to hide the affairs?
Speculating whether the walls are witness to hidden infidelities.
The dog we won't have is now one I would not choose
The dog they decided not to have is now a choice the speaker regrets.
The daughter we won't raise still waits for you
A daughter they won't raise is still waiting for the absent parent.
The girl I won't be is the one that's yours
The speaker won't become the girl that belongs to someone else.
I hope you shortly find what you long for
Expressing a wish for the person to find what they desire soon.
Two years and some change, isn't it strange?
Reflecting on the oddness of the two-year timeframe.
You're a full-fledged socialist, I go by a new name
Highlighting a change in identity, contrasting political views.
The filthy joke that won't burrow in the corner
A joke that remains unresolved, causing ongoing sadness.
Of your smirking lips, I mourn it to this day
Mourning the loss of a joke on the lips of the person.
The story we won't tell is my greatest fantasy
A story not shared becomes the speaker's greatest fantasy.
The passion I won't feel again isn't lost on me
Acknowledging the absence of a certain passion in the speaker's life.
The son you never wanted is the wound your father left
Describing the unwanted son as a result of the father's impact.
And the mother I won't be is probably for the best
Choosing not to be a mother might be the best decision.
Your demons I won't meet, now someone else's word to keep
Declining to confront the demons of the person, leaving it for someone else.
I'm sure she's beautiful and sweet
Anticipating that the person's new connection is beautiful and sweet.
Not what I wanted
Expressing dissatisfaction with the current situation.
But what we need
Recognizing that what they need may differ from what they wanted.
