More Song Lyrics About Abortion and Unintended Pregnancy
Here's Brick, by Ben Folds Five -- a song about abortion from the man's perspective.
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 numbUp 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 beforeShe's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere
She's a brick and I'm drowning slowlyThey 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 beforeShe's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere
She's a brick and I'm drowning slowlyAs 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 lyingDriving back to her apartment
For the moment we're alone
Yeah she's alone
I'm alone
Now I know itShe'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
Watch the video.
