6am, 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 drowing slowly

Off the coast and I'm heading nowhere

She's a brick and I'm drowing 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 heading 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
