Chokehold

Wrap me up in your warm hold
Keep me upright when I'm too cold
Let me lean on your goalposts
You can push me away if I get too close

When I lay down next to you
And you don't look my way
And my eyes stay set on the outline of your face
I'll give you your space
When I lay down next to you
But If I inched a little closer would you

Wrap me up in your warm hold
Keep me upright when I'm too cold
Let me lean on your goalposts
You can push me away if I get too close

When I stand right next to the fire
I don't move
I just watch
As it takes what it desire
But I'm not that ember
I don't have what you require
You can try to play pretend but I know you've never been a liar
Don't try to be
I wish I didn't feel it but I do when you lie with me
And every time I notice it I try to cut your ties with me
Laid down next to you
Trying to think of my best excuse

Could you
Wrap me up in your
Chokehold
Help me lose all my
Control
I keep on moving my goalposts
Let me eat my heart out before I'm too old

When I lay down next to you
And repeat the same mistakes
Trying to think of my best excuse
So I can keep myself awake
Not a thing that I said to you is what I really wanna say
Pretend I'm protecting you
But I'm really just afraid
