If I Can't Love Her

If I Can't Love Him
by Tim Rice

And in my twisted face
There's not the slighest trace
Of anything that even hints at kindness.
And from my tortured shape,
No comfort, no escape.
I see, but deep within is utter blindness.

Hopeless,
As my dream dies.
As the time flys,
Love a lost illusion.
Helpless,
Unforgiven.
Cold and driven
To this sad conclusion:

No beauty sould move me,
No goodness improve me.
No power on Earth, if I can't love her.
No passion could reach me,
No lesson could teach me
How I could have loved her and had her love me too.
If I can't love her, then who?

Long ago I should have seen
All the things I could have been.
Careless and unthinking, I moved onward!

No pain could be deeper.
No life could be cheaper.
No point anymore if I can't love her.
No spirit could win me.
No hope left within me,
Hope that I could have loved her and the she'd set me free.
But its not to be.
If I cant love her,
Then let the world be done with me.
