Lyrics

Album version
[Intro]

Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm

Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm

[Verse 1]

I don't bother anyone

Nervous when I stand

Chokin' on the circumstance

Only smokin' secondhand (Mm-mm)

Cut us open, spread us out (Mm-mm)

Dry us in the sand (Mm-mm)

Lay the fibers side by side (Mm-mm)

And you'll begin to understand (Mm-mm)

[Chorus]

I know it's over

I was born a choker

Nobody's comin' for me

Comin' for me

[Post-Chorus]

Mm-mm (I know it's over)

Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm

[Verse 2]

I don't bother anyone

Never make demands

Chokin' on the circumstance

Self-sabotage is a sweet romance (Mm-mm)

Seems like all I'm worth is what I'm able to withstand (Mm-mm)

Sooner I can realize that pain is just a middleman

[Chorus]

I know it's over

I was born a choker

Nobody's comin' for me

[Bridge]

I see no volunteers to co-sign on my fears

I'll sign on the line

Alone, I'm gonna change my circumstance

I know I need to move right now

[Chorus]

'Cause I know it's over

I was born a choker

Nobody's comin' for me (Only smokin' secondhand)

I know it's over

I was born a choker

Nobody's comin' for me

Comin' for me

[Verse 3]

Like a little splinter buried in your skin

Someone else can carve it out but when you've got the pin

It hurts a little less and you can even push it further in

When your body's screamin' out, trust your mind's listenin'

Like a silhouette that you can barely see

As a shadow cast upon the ground where you'll eventually

Lay forever, but the day goes on, the sun moves behind you

You get taller, bolder, stronger, and the rearview only blinds you

[Outro]

Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm
