Lyrics- (Source: sing365.com)

6 am day after Christmas

I throw some clothes on in

The dark

The smell of cold

Car seat is freezing

The world is sleeping and

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

CHORUS:

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 dying for

Now she's feeling more alone

Than she ever has before

Repeat Chorus

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

'cuz I was tired of lying

Driving back to her apartment

For the moment we're alone

She's alone

And I'm alone

Now I know it

Repeat Chorus til end
