Choked Up

[Verse 1]

Slip your fingers underneath the stitches of an off-white wedding gown

And I'll lay you in a marriage bed of haystack in a bloody briar crown

Our jaws are cauterized with alcohol, soldered shut by smoke

And I don't want you to return my calls or tell me dirty jokes

[Chorus]

'Cause if I'm being honest, I haven’t taken my medicine

Wasted, staying the night

I sleep on your floor in my clothes

You hide all your knives, with the bad dreams and the whiskey

Tell your friends don’t miss me— I know you don’t

Why would you?

[Verse 2]

Drive the length of the state and the sidewalk holds my fist

And you were trading silver that you found on someone else’s lips

So don’t you meet me in the front lawn for a hidden garden kiss

'Cause I see everyone I meet through the lenses on your wrists

[Chorus]

'Cause if I'm being honest, I haven’t taken my medicine

Wasted, staying the night

I sleep on your floor in my clothes

You hide all your knives, with the bad dreams and the whiskey

Tell your friends don’t miss me— I know you don’t

Why would you?

I know you don’t

Why would you?

I know you don’t

Why would you?
