**Verse 1:**
The night was young, the wine like embers in the glass,
Then I met you, time simply stood still.
Your laughter pierced my heart like a knife,
But your ring flashes in the light – I can't go that far.
**Pre-Chorus:**
The voice whispers: *"What was, may come again..."*
But my head knows: You are not mine.
The seconds burn, steps on the tightrope,
Between yesterday and what I can never allow myself...
**Chorus:**
Can a heart still beat when it's forbidden?
Can one live dreams that the world forgets?
Your hand touches me – but it doesn't belong to me.
Between heart and duty, only a faint *maybe* remains.
**Verse 2:**
Memories paint us on that beach,
Where the waves bore our names.
But tomorrow wrote a different ending,
And you were silent when our eyes met.
*I knew it late enough.*
**Pre-Chorus:**
The years pass, but feelings burn quietly within me.
That never truly fade in the darkness.
But honor whispers: *"Let go, it mustn't be..."*
But my heart cries out loudly: *"I only want you!"*
**Chorus:**
Can a heart still beat when it's forbidden?
Can one live dreams that the world forgets?
Your hand touches me – but it doesn't belong to me.
Between heart and duty, only a faint *maybe* remains.
**Bridge:**
And I ask the stars: *"Tell me, where should I put the guilt?"*
The truth is razor-sharp to me, but lies eat away at my patience.
In the end, all that remains is longing, reaching for you in the rain...
**Final Chorus:**
Can a heart still beat when it's forbidden?
Can I risk this storm *once again*?
Your gaze says *"Stay!"* – but I walk quietly into the light.
Between heart and duty...
Am I lying to myself and my heart says yes, but my head only says no. How can this be?
I ask myself every day.
You leave and smile at me briefly. But I'm not yours, I already knew that.
