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
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 lying

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

    CAN ANYONE POST THE RIGHT LYRICS ON THIS SITE:

    Six am Day after Christmas I throw some clothes on in the dark The smell of cold 'Cause it 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

    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
