We've been talking for hours and hours about

Everything that could've been

I can't deny you, it sounded easy

And I wanted to risk it, but

I was a girl with so many fears

I grew up believing

That love had to be perfect

And I think maybe

We lost the chance

To find something real

I start to think for a moment

What would've happened if

The walls that I built

Had finally fallen for you?

Maybe I'd have another option

Than to take refuge in more than one song

We'd be here, you and I

Adding up

And now I know

That time

Finds the way

To heal the wounds

That don't close

There's no doubt

Your intentions

Were good

But a heart

Doesn't deserve to love halfway

What would've happened if

The walls that I built

Had finally fallen

For you?

Maybe I'd have another option

Than to take refuge in more than one song

We'd be here, you and I

Adding up

SONG MEANING

¿Qué Hubiera Pasado? introduces us to a younger Ela Taubert wrestling with the big what if of a love she never let blossom. She confesses that she built high walls out of fear and perfectionism, convinced that romance had to be flawless. Now she wonders: If those walls had fallen, would we be here together instead of hiding behind sad songs? The track paints a vivid picture of missed chances, vulnerability, and an alternate timeline where two hearts add to each other instead of staying apart.

Rather than drowning in regret, Ela flips the story into a lesson on growth. She accepts that time can stitch up wounds and reminds us that every heart deserves to be loved completely, not "a medias." The result is an intimate, uplifting anthem about daring to drop your guard, healing old fears, and choosing real connection over perfect illusions.
