I NEVER CROSSED THAT LINE

It always starts so innocent,

another night, another friend.

We laugh, we talk, I trust the room,

I never see the way it ends.

Then something changes in your eyes,

you move too close, I step behind.

I know this moment far too well—

here we go, another time.

Too close,

too far,

I know exactly where we are.

One move,

one sign—

don’t you dare cross that line.

I never crossed that line,

I never crossed that line.

You leaned in,

I pulled away—

don’t put your choices on my name.

I never crossed that line,

I never crossed that line.

She’s my friend,

you’re her guy—

so tell me why,

tell me why—

you crossed that line.

Crossed that line—

line, line, line.

You crossed that line—

not mine, not mine.

Crossed that line—

line, line, line.

Your choice.

Your fault.

Not mine.

Different face, another year,

but somehow I keep ending here.

A hand too close, an almost kiss,

another thing I never wished.

And now I’m asking what to say,

’cause either choice could break her heart.

You get to walk away unchanged—

while I clean up what you start.

Too close,

too far,

I know exactly where we are.

One move,

one sign—

don’t you dare cross that line.

I never crossed that line,

I never crossed that line.

You leaned in,

I pulled away—

don’t put your choices on my name.

I never crossed that line,

I never crossed that line.

She’s my friend,

you’re her guy—

so tell me why,

tell me why—

you crossed that line.

She trusted you.

I trusted you.

You knew.

Don’t call it tension.

Don’t call it fate.

Don’t call my kindness

an invitation you can take.

Again and again,

different men, same lie.

But I won’t carry

your guilt this time.

Not my secret.

Not my shame.

Not my fault.

Not my name.

Not my secret.

Not my shame.

You crossed it—

I NEVER CROSSED THAT LINE.

Line, line, line—

you crossed that line.

I NEVER CROSSED THAT LINE.

Not mine, not mine—

don’t make it mine.

She trusted you.

I trusted you.

You knew exactly what you’d do.

I never crossed that line.

You did.
