6 am day after christmasI throw some clothes on inThe darkThe smell of coldCar seat is freezingThe world is sleeping andI am numb
Up the stairs to her apartmentShe is balled up on the couchHer mom and dad went downTo charlotteThey’re not home to find usOut
And we driveNow that I have founds someoneIm feeling more aloneThan I ever have before
ChorusShes a brick and I’m drowning slowlyOff the coast and I’m headed NowhereShes a brick and I’m drowning slowly
They call her name at 7:30I pace around the parking lotThen I walk down to buy herFlowersAnd sell some gifts that I got
Can’t you seeIts not me youre dying forNow shes feeling more aloneThan she ever has before
ChorusShes a brick and I’m drowning slowlyOff the coast and I’m headed NowhereShes a brick and I’m drowning slowly
As weeks went byIt showed that she was not fineThey told me son its timeTo tell the truthAnd she broke down and I brokeDown
cause I was tired of lyingDriving back to her apartmentFor the moment were aloneShe’s aloneAnd I’m aloneNow I know it
