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
