[Verse 1 – rough, deep voice]
I can still see you, laughing in the rain,
your gaze a fire no one can extinguish.
We stood close, yet a million miles apart,
your heart cried out – but my hand remained silent.
[Pre-Chorus]
Every night your name is written in the sky,
every morning the wound reopens.
We were one – only in dreams,
that no one ever dares to grasp.
[Chorus – huge stadium choir + wall of electric guitars]
We wanted it! We wanted it so badly!
A love that tears the stars apart!
But time betrayed us,
and silence won!
We wanted it! Forever and more!
But we remained just a whisper in the wind…
What we never had – burns brightest inside!
[Verse 2 – Voice almost breaks]
Your last glance on platform 17,
said everything words never could.
I turned around – cowardice in my bones,
you left – with half my life.
[Bridge – only piano & child's voice alone]
(Children's choir delicate, like a distant angel)
Why didn't we just say it?
Why did we hide the truth?
Just one "I love you"... just once...
[Final Chorus – Explosion, full choir + children's choir overhead]
We wanted it! We wanted it so badly!
A love that shatters eternity!
But we remained silent – two fools in the light!
We wanted it! Until our last breath!
Now we sing it – in every damned dream!
What we never had...
burns forever...
inside us both... loud and true!
[Outro – Children's choir alone, slowly fading out]
What we never had…
what we never had…
was the most beautiful…
thing that ever existed…
[Guitar Solo]
