And I won't let you choke
On the noose around your neck"

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I think the song is mostly about having an unrequitted love for someone. Saying I will hold on hope and I won't let you choke is emphasizing the love for someone. A noose is a rope with a knot, so the metaphor might be talking about losing a loved one and doing what they can to protect them.
