Up the stairs to the apartment
She is balled up on the couch
[as someone who had to watch the girl he loves go thru an abortion this song hit home. i immediatly connected it to abortion. after my girlfriend left the hospital she was still feeling the effects of the sedation. she was distraught, crying, helpless. i helped out of the car and to her room. she lied there crying for hours, and all i could do was watch]
Her mom and dad went down to Charlotte
They're not home to find us out
And we drive
[we had to wait till her mom had work so she wouldnt find out]
Now that I have found someone
I'm feeling more alone
Than I ever have before
[the abortion was the most difficult thing we had to go thru as a couple. it ruins u as a person and it ruined us a a couple. there are no words i could use to make her feel better, or to make myself feel better for that matter. we were together and completely alone. we each had to deal w/ what we had done on our own. nobody can make you feel better about doing something that you feel is wrong, no matter why you had to do 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
[she was depressed and i couldnt bring her up, and by trying to bring her up, i was dragged down too. i dnt regret trying to help her, she'd wouldve done the same for me.]
They call her name at 7:30
I pace around the parking lot
[i wasnt alowed to be there for the operation because we were not married and i wasnt family]
Then I walk down to buy her flowers
And sell some gifts that I got
[i bought her her favorite candy and some flowers, my vain attempt to make her smile]
Can't you see
It's not me you're dying for
[we wanted the child but neither of our parents would have excepted that we were going to have a baby]
Now she's feeling more alone
Than she ever has before
[we both cut ourselves off from our families and friends, the guilt was...very heavy, especially for her]
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
[we eventually had to tell our parents, we couldnt carry this burrdon on our own]
She broke down, and I broke down
Cause I was tired of lying
[self explainitory]
Driving home to her apartment
For a moment we're alone
Yeah she's alone
I'm alone
Now I know it
[it ruined us forever]
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
sorry for any mispelled words i'm felling lazy, the words still sting my eyes and the memories are as fresh as if they'd happened yesterday
