One bad night

[Verse 1]
I was doing alright
Till the silence got loud
When the room started talking
And my thoughts were a crowd
Every doubt that I buried
Came back to the floor
Like they never left
Like they wanted more

I had hope in my pocket
Had peace in my head
But it slipped through my fingers
With the words that you said
Now I’m staring at walls
That remember my pain
Like they’re keeping a record
Of every mistake

I told myself I was healing
I told myself I was fine
But all it took was one bad night
To rewind

[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t wanna go backwards
But I feel myself slide

[Chorus]
It only takes
One bad night
To forget all the progress in my life
One bad thought
One wrong move
And I’m right back inside the truth
I was running from

One bad night
One mistake
And the past starts calling my name
I don’t wanna go back there
But I’m scared
It only takes
One bad night

[Verse 2]
I was standing so tall
I was feeling okay
Then a memory hit me
Like a wave in my face
Every failure I’ve had
Started playing on repeat
Like my mind wants to prove
That I don’t deserve peace

I keep telling myself
“Just breathe, just relax”
But anxiety’s laughing
Like, “nah, you’re past that”
I look at my phone
But nobody knows
That I’m losing a fight
That I don’t even show

I hate how the darkness
Knows where I live
I hate how it knows
Every crack in my ribs

[Pre-Chorus]
I was finally feeling strong
Now I’m barely alive

[Chorus]
It only takes
One bad night
To undo everything I survived
One bad word
One old fear
And the ghosts all reappear

One bad night
One relapse
And I’m staring straight at the past
I don’t wanna be that me
But I’m scared
It only takes
One bad night

[Bridge]
Maybe healing isn’t linear
Maybe it’s a war
Maybe every step forward
Still hurts like before
I don’t wanna be weak
I just wanna be free
But freedom feels fragile
When it lives inside me

[Final Chorus]
It only takes
One bad night
To make me question my whole life
But even now
In this pain
Part of me is still awake

I don’t wanna go backwards
I don’t wanna lose the fight
But I’m learning the truth
That it only takes
One bad night
