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
  I am numb
    Up the stairs to the 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 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
    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 back to her apartment
  For the moment we're alone
  Yeah 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
