Choked Up
Love's Struggle: Choked Up Reflections
Lyrics
I don't know why we can't talk
I am uncertain about the reason we cannot communicate
Every time we try we get choked up
Every attempt to talk results in emotional difficulty
Running with the feelings that gets caught in your head
Acting on emotions that become trapped in your thoughts
'Til I can't remember what it was we said
Until I forget the content of our conversation
All my friends say I'm in love
According to my friends, I am experiencing love
Is this what I think they're thinking of?
Questioning if their perception aligns with my own
I don't know why we can't win
Unsure why success in our relationship is elusive
Every time we lose, we just pretend
Choosing to act like winners despite repeated losses
Running out of money at the end of the month
Financial struggles toward the end of the month
None of it can buy the things I want
Money cannot acquire the desired possessions
All my friends say I'm in love
Friends perceive that I am in love
Is this what I think they're thinking of?
Questioning if their perception aligns with my own
Count my friends on my left hand
Counting friends on one hand, avoiding unnecessary ones
I don't need another who wouldn't understand
Desiring understanding in a romantic relationship
Take myself with thoughts of leaving
Contemplating the idea of leaving, feeling lost
Running out of things left to believe in
Running out of beliefs and convictions
Running out of money and time
Facing a shortage of both money and time
Running out of money and time
Reiterating the scarcity of money and time
You won't be mine
Expressing a desire that the person won't be mine
I don't know why we can't win
Questioning why success remains elusive
Every time we lose, we just pretend
Choosing to pretend victory despite repeated losses
Running out of money at the end of the month
Financial struggles toward the end of the month
None of it can buy the things I want
Money cannot acquire the desired possessions
All my friends say I'm in love
According to my friends, I am experiencing love
Is this what I think they're thinking of?
Questioning if their perception aligns with my own
Count my friends on my left hand
Counting friends on one hand, avoiding unnecessary ones
I don't need another who wouldn't understand
Desiring understanding in a romantic relationship
All my friends say I'm in love
Friends perceive that I am in love
Is this what I think they're thinking of?
Questioning if their perception aligns with my own
All my friends say I'm in love
Friends repeatedly affirming that I am in love
Is this what I think they're thinking of?
Questioning if their perception aligns with my own
