CHOKED

A broken bottle misses my head
A thousand people wish I was dead
I try to discover what's missing in me
Why I'm out of place, where I fit in...

I see you wonder if I am for real
Assessing the damage in how I might feel
In my consternation is there a sign
Of why I'm so lonely passing me by?

Straining to see we were so far apart
You burned like a fire inside of my heart
I used to believe you when you said my name
How could you leave me in this kind of pain?

Sometimes I feel like this is all wrong
Sometimes I feel like it's where we belong
But it's the weight of confusion that's holding me down
Blurring my vision, choking my sounds...

Now I am out here, I'm drifting alone
I gave you my body, I gave you my soul
I tried to be everything you'd ever need
You've taken away all that I'll ever be

Deep in the ocean I'm trying to breathe
Deep in the ocean I'm trying to breathe
Deep in the ocean I'm trying to breathe
Deep in the ocean I'm trying to...
