Choked Up
Navigating Love's Silence: Choked Up by Never That
Lyrics
Where do I begin
Expressing uncertainty or difficulty in starting something.
I never know
Feeling a lack of understanding or clarity.
Can’t tell the difference
Unable to distinguish between the right and wrong paths.
Between where I’m going and where I’m supposed to go
Struggling to discern the correct direction in life.
You act like I
Perceiving a lack of agency or control.
Like I have a choice
Feeling constrained, as if choices are limited.
Like I can turn the switch
Expressing a desire to communicate but facing obstacles.
And use my voice
Wanting to use one's voice but finding it difficult.
I’ve spent a lot of time
Reflecting on a significant amount of time spent looking backward.
Looking back
Reviewing the past with not much substance found.
There’s not a lot there
Despite the lack, past experiences still disrupt the present.
But it still throws me way off track
Experiencing a significant diversion from the intended path.
I need to find someone
Seeking understanding from someone who can relate.
Who can comprehend
Desiring comprehension of one's true self.
The kind of person I am
Seeking a deeper connection beyond friendship.
Someone who can be there as more than just a friend
Expressing a need for emotional support.
I can’t tell you I love you
Unable to confess love due to constraints.
I can’t say the words
Struggling to articulate feelings through words.
I can't tell you how I feel
Being unable to express emotions openly.
I’ll just remain unheard
Choosing silence over unheard expressions.
I get choked up
Experiencing emotional blockage or difficulty in expression.
When I talk to you
Feeling overwhelmed or emotional when communicating.
I think it’s 'cause your pretty
Attributing difficulty in conversation to the other person's attractiveness.
And conversation isn’t something that I normally do
Expressing discomfort in engaging in typical conversations.
I have to start again
Recognizing the need to start afresh in communication.
You’ll never understand
Anticipating a lack of understanding from the other person.
I’ve got to get away
Feeling the urge to distance oneself despite conflicting feelings.
But on the other hand
Acknowledging the internal struggle in making decisions.
I’m telling you I love you
Expressing love as a way to fill the communication gap.
Cause I don’t know what else to say
Confessing love due to a lack of alternative expressions.
This is how I feel
Affirming the genuine emotions felt in the current situation.
Please don’t walk away
Pleading for understanding and not to abandon the conversation.
