Lyrics
[Verse 1] Two thousand two and I was twenty-nine Apartment number five down those concrete stairs Message board said bed for rent no strings Knocked on basement door and left behind my cares [Pre-Chorus] Every month I paid my dues
Every month I told myself the truth
That this was nothing more than what it was
But something in me started to thaw
[Chorus] Lauren was your job and Laurie was your name
Two whole years of every Sunday the same
I paid for your hours but you kept your soul
Apartment number five and I lost all control
[Verse 2] Facebook post said rest in peace and I went cold
Twenty years gone by since I walked away
I googled your obituary line by line
Found the girl going to church who chose to stay [Pre-Chorus] He left you pregnant at just 17 Lost the baby and almost lost your life
You told me you never picked this road
It just picked you up and carried you along was your job and Laurie was your name
Two whole years of every Sunday the same
I paid for your hours but you kept your soul
Apartment number five and I lost all control
[Bridge] You never wanted more than what I gave
I loved you in the quiet not the Twenty years I kept your memory
Tonight I found out heaven holds you tight was your job and Laurie was your name
Two whole years of every Sunday the same
I paid for your hours but you kept your soul
Apartment number five and I lost all control
[Outro] Apartment number five
Apartment number five
Laurie (Laurie)
Laurie
