The world is (1)________________ I am numb

Up the (2)____________ to her apartment
She is balled up on the couch
Her mom and dad went down to Charlotte
They're not home to (3)________ us out

And we drive

They call her name at 7:30
I pace (7)____________ the parking lot
Then I walk down to buy her flowers
And (8)________ 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 headed nowhere
She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly

As weeks went by

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
