Six am 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  They're not home to find us out   And we drive  Now that I have found someone  I'm feeling 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 seven thirty   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 dying for  Now she's feeling more alone  Then 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  She broke down and I broke down  'Cause I was tired of lying  Driving home to her apartment  For the moment we're alone  She's alone  I'm alone  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
