My Hands Around Your Throat

I didn't know I wasn't breathing
Until you couldn't
If you'll forgive me
I'll choke the world for you

My hands around your throat
Still haunts me to this day
That one moment of true regret
Buckles my knees at the very thought of it
Holding my breath, trying to kill the memory
Penance and pain, all in vain

That rage inside of me
Aimed at you erroneously
No apology will rectify
I will atone for the rest of my life

I didn't know I wasn't breathing
Until you couldn't
If you'll forgive me
I'll choke the world for you

My hands around your throat
The way I've dreamed to do to enemies
But clearly couldn't carry through with anyway
Even if they deserved it
Time to put these hands to better use
They've just been diggin' my grave thus far

That rage inside of me
Aimed at you erroneously
No apology will rectify
I will atone for the rest of my life

I didn't know I wasn't breathing
Until you couldn't
If you'll forgive me
I'll choke the world for you

If you'll forgive me
I'll choke this world for you
