I said just once, just to feel it

Just a line I wouldn’t cross again

Heart was beating like a siren

But I liked the way it pulled me in

Felt the rules start bending slowly

Like they never really mattered much

Hands were shaking, not from fear now

But from wanting just a little more touch

I know the line, I see it clear

But something in me disappears

I said just once, now it’s every night

Chasing shadows in neon light

I know it’s wrong but it feels so right

Like I’m dancing on a blade

Every step, yeah, I push it more

Lock the guilt behind a broken door

I swear I’m still who I was before

But I’m fading in the haze

Started small, I had control then

Now it’s pulling like a loaded gun

Every warning sign is glowing

But I’m staring straight into the sun

Friends say “man, you’re different lately”

I just laugh it off, I play it cool

But the truth is I’m addicted

To the thrill of breaking every rule

I hear the voice inside my head

But I like the silence better instead

I said just once, now it’s every night

Chasing shadows in neon light

I know it’s wrong but it feels so right

Like I’m dancing on a blade

Every step, yeah, I push it more

Lock the guilt behind a broken door

I swear I’m still who I was before

But I’m fading in the haze

If I stop, will I feel empty?

If I fall, will I even care?

It’s a high I can’t remember

How to live without it there

I said just once, now it owns my mind

Every red light I leave behind

I keep running but I’m out of time

And I’m loving the escape

Every line that I swore I’d keep

Now it’s buried six feet deep

And the rush is the only thing

That reminds me I’m awake

Hands are tied but I’m the one who

Pulled the knot and let it stay

Now I’m caught inside the echo

Of that one mistake

Just once… yeah that’s what I said

Now it’s the only place I rest my head
