“6am, day after Christmas,
the smell of cold, carseat is freezing,
the world is sleep 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, it’s 7:30,
I pace around the parking lot;
And I walk down to buy her flowers
and sell some gifts that I got.”
“Can’t you see?
It’s not me you’re crying for
and she’s feeling more alone
than she ever has before.”
“As weeks went by, they 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
‘cuz I was tired…..of lying.”
“Driving back to her apartment and for the moment we’re alone,
and she’s alone and I’m alone
and now I know it.”
