Choked Up

My friends told me to stay away
But not the reasons they felt that way
Couldn't listen to them throwing shade
Telling me that we're not gonna make the grade
(Okay, okay)
She keeps dishing out the alibis
Can't she see, I see through the lies?
I saw her car on Dillon's drive
Didn't stop to ask her why
(I roll by)

I choked up So what?
I woke up, just as she's walking away
So what? I choked up, watch her leaving today

She came around here, she didn't hesitate
I played along like it wasn't getting late (stay awake)
I turned around, she wasn't there
Ran out the door and down the stairs
Bright lights buzzing like a hive
She slides up
I come alive

I choked up So what?
I woke up, just as she's walking away
So what? I choked up, watch her leaving today
There is no reason for me to stay, so I'm sailing away

Here comes another, so make some room
She amplifies the attitude
Said yesterday is ancient history
She tries to burn all our memories
I feel my mind reel, I feel it spinning away
I see her lips moving, I can't hear what they say
I can't hear the words she say
I can't hear a thing today

I choked up So what?
I woke up, just as she's walking away
So what? I choked up, watch her leaving today
