Forbidden Heart

**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.
