6am, day after Christmas
I throw some clothes on in the dark
The smell of cold
Car seat is freezing
The world is sleeping
I am numb
Up the stairs to her apartment
She is balled up on the couch
Her mom and dad went down to Charlotte
Theyre not home to find us out
And we drive
Now that I have found someone
Im feeling more alone
Than I ever have before
Shes a brick and Im drowning slowly
Off the coast and Im headed nowhere
Shes a brick and Im drowning slowly
They call her name at 7:30
I pace around the parking lot
Then I walk down to buy her flowers
And sell some gifts that I got
Cant you see
Its not me youre dying for
Now shes feeling more alone
Then she ever has before
Shes a brick and Im drowning slowly
Off the coast and Im headed nowhere
Shes a brick and Im drowning slowly
As weeks went by
It showed that she was not fine
They told me "Son its time
To tell the truth"
She broke down
And I broke down
Cause I was tired of lying
Driving home to her apartment
For the moment were alone
Shes alone
Im alone
Now I know it ...
Shes a brick and Im drowning slowly
Off the coast and Im headed nowhere
