[Intro]

I carved your name in my soul

I was shelter from the cold

I was everything...


[Verse 1]

So why you're telling me

You wanna taste my pain

You wanna take all that away

You wanna shove it down my throat

No fear - no change but the records broke


[Chorus]

Damn! I don't wanna choke

Damn! I don't wanna choke

Damn! I don't wanna choke

Damn! I don't wanna choke


[Interlude]

I could've gave up - but I fucked up

There ain't no miracles here - (there's only bad luck)

Now my face is stone unbreakable, unreadable


[Verse 2]

And now you're telling me

Slow down, slow down

You're running yoursеlf in the ground

Live fast, die young

I did it all for you - I did it all for you


[Interlude]

I criеd a thousand tears - for too many years - I want it all


[Verse 3]

And now you're telling me

I gotta give back - what I took back

I take it all - I never give back

It's only me - It's only me

Give me a slap of reality


[Chorus]

Damn! I don't wanna choke

Damn! I don't wanna choke

Damn! I don't wanna choke

Damn! I don't wanna choke


[Interlude]

I should've gave up - but I fucked up

There ain't no miracles here - (there's only bad luck)

Now my face is stone unbreakable, unreadable


[Verse 4]

And now you're telling me

Open up - or get the fuck out

Don't slam the door on the way out

Don't cry, don't smile

Just do it, just do it


[Interlude]

I did it for the laughs

I did it for the love

I did this for us...


[Verse 5]

So why you're telling me

You hate me - you despise me

At the same time - you still love me

Did you lie - Did you lie

Operator - please break the line


[Chorus]

Damn! I don't wanna choke

Damn! I don't wanna choke

Damn! I don't wanna choke

Damn! I don't wanna choke
