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 2xCF

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

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
(F Cmaj7/G F)332 C 2xCF
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
Then she ever has before
She's a brick…

As weeks went by
F C
It showed that she was not fine
They told me son it's time to tell the truth

Cause I was tired of lying 2xC F
Driving home 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…
