You got me down but now I'm coming up again
I know you didn't mean to hurt but did it just the same
I don't understand how it could cut so deep
But I can't blame you 'cause I know it's within me
Sometimes we choke the ones we love
And for a moment there I bought your point of view
I wore the limitations that I heard from you
I am stronger now cause you revealed my pain
I even love you more for you unsealed my strength
Sometimes we choke the ones we love
I got ways to go and unknown maps to draw
I know I'm struggling but I'm working through it all
I hope one day you'll better understand my ways
And all your black and white will render into grays
I'm sure there were some times when I was too damn blind
To sense the raging war inside your heart and mind
Forgive me, didn't mean to choke the one I love
Sometimes we choke the ones we love
Sometimes we choke the ones we love
