One Time Too Many [Verse 1] The neon's humming like a hollow choir Another bridge is smoldering in the ash I played with fuel and I toyed with fire Now I’m just waiting for the final crash The floor is sticky and the air is thin I see my ghost in every empty glass Counting the places where I might have been Before I let the only good thing pass [Chorus] One time too many I stayed for the high One time too many I looked for a lie I traded the truth for a temporary spark Now I’m just a shadow drifting in the dark Yeah, I crossed the line and I left it behind One time too many and now I’m blind [Verse 2] The phone is heavy and the screen is cold I know your voice wouldn't know my name The same old story that I’ve always told But I’ve run out of people left to blame It’s a long, slow walk to a quiet room Where the silence is a weight I have to bear Every choice is a flower that’ll never bloom Just a handful of smoke and a lack of prayer [Chorus] One time too many I stayed for the high One time too many I looked for a lie I traded the truth for a temporary spark Now I’m just a shadow drifting in the dark Yeah, I crossed the line and I left it behind One time too many and now I’m blind [Bridge] They say regret is a ghost that grows It feeds on the things you didn't say I’m wearing a debt that nobody owes Just the price of walking the other way [Chorus] One time too many I stayed for the high One time too many I looked for a lie I traded the truth for a temporary spark Now I’m just a shadow drifting in the dark Yeah, I crossed the line and I left it behind One time too many and now I’m blind [Outro] Just one time too many Walking in the dark One time too many...
