6 AM
Day after Christmas
I throw some
clothes on in the dark
The smell of cold
Car seat is freezin'
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
They're not home to
find us out
And we drive
Now that I have found someone
I'm feelin' more alone
than I ever have before
She's a brick and I'm
drowning slowly
Off the coast and I'm
headed nowhere
She's a brick and I'm
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
Can't you see
It's not me you're dyin' for
Now she's feeling more alone
than she ever has before
She's a brick and I'm
drowning slowly
Off the coast and I'm
headed nowhere
She's a brick and I'm
drowning slowly
As weeks went by
It showed that she was not fine
They told me son
It's time to tell the truth and
She broke down
And I broke down
'cause I was tired of lyin'
Driving back to her apartment
For the moment we're alone
Yeah she's alone
And I'm alone
And now I know it
She's a brick and I'm
drowning slowly
Off the coast and I'm
headed nowhere
She's a brick and I'm
drowning slowly
