[Verse 1]
Late bell rings
Ink on my fingers
You walk past
The air lingers
Chalk on your hands
Name on the board
I trace every letter
Like a secret door
[Pre-Chorus]
I sit in the back row
Heart loud
Eyes low
Tell me
Is it wrong
If it feels this strong
[Chorus]
It’s a forbidden lesson
Written under my skin
I keep it hidden
Every stare
Every grin
I shouldn’t want your kiss
I shouldn’t crave your touch
But this quiet confession
Is starting to be too much
[Verse 2]
Second one smiles
Coffee and papers
You say my name
And the room tapers
Tie slightly loose
Laugh in your throat
I’m drowning in questions
You’ll never know
[Pre-Chorus]
Two different faces
Same dizzy fall
I’m losing my balance
Between them all
[Chorus]
It’s a forbidden lesson
Written under my skin
I keep it hidden
Every stare
Every grin
I shouldn’t want your kiss
I shouldn’t crave your touch
But this quiet confession
Is starting to be too much
[Bridge]
I’ll lock it in my notebook
Fold it
Tear it
Burn the page (burn the page)
I’ll carry every almost
Like a ring I never wear (oh-oh)
If I close my eyes at night
You’re both still there
You’re both still there
[Chorus]
It’s a forbidden lesson
Written under my skin
I keep it hidden
Every stare
Every grin
I shouldn’t want your kiss
I shouldn’t crave your touch
But this quiet confession
Is starting to be too much
