(Verse 1 – soft, restrained) I laugh at your jokes, I know all your scars, We’ve traced constellations under broken stars. Your hand fits in mine like it always belonged, But the timing is twisted, the moment is gone. (Pre-Chorus – building tension) You see me as steady, the one who won’t break, But inside I’m burning with the words I can’t say. (Chorus – explosive, full band) In another life, I’d be the one you hold, We’d set the night on fire, never growing cold. But the story’s been written, the truth’s been defined, We’re perfect together… just in the wrong time. (Verse 2 – drums kick in stronger) I’m screaming in silence, standing so near, Swallowed by shadows of all that I fear. Your eyes light me up, they cut me in two, But your heart’s been promised, it won’t turn to me. (Pre-Chorus – higher, angrier) I’m the friend, I’m the anchor, the one who won’t stray, But I ache for the words that I’ll never say. (Chorus – even bigger) In another life, I’d be the one you hold, We’d set the night on fire, never growing cold. But the story’s been written, the truth’s been defined, We’re perfect together… just in the wrong time. (Bridge – soft start, then explodes) Maybe fate’s cruel, or maybe it’s kind, To give me a soul that mirrors mine. We’ll never be lovers, but I can’t deny, You’re the heartbreak I’ll carry ’til the day I die. (Chorus – massive, guitars soaring) In another life, I’d be the one you hold, We’d fight against the darkness, burning bright and bold. But this isn’t our moment, this mountain won’t climb, We’re perfect together… just in the wrong time. (Outro – haunting fade) So I’ll treasure the laughter, the pieces we’ve shared, And love you in silence, for the life we can’t wear. We’re written in starlight, but the stars won’t align… You’re mine in my soul, just not in this lifetime.
