Stick By You

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
 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
