[Verse]
And in my twisted face
There's not the slightest trace
Of anything that even hints of 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 flies, love a lost illusion
Helpless, unforgiven
Cold and driven
To this sad conclusion
[Chorus]
No beauty could 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 make her love me too
If I can't love her, then who
[Bridge]
Long ago I should have seen
All the things I could have been
Careless and unthinking
I moved onward
[Final Chorus]
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 I could have loved her
And that she's set me free
[Outro]
But it's not to be
If I can't love her
Let the world be done with me
And in my twisted face
There's not the slightest trace
Of anything that even hints of 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 flies, love a lost illusion
Helpless, unforgiven
Cold and driven
To this sad conclusion
[Chorus]
No beauty could 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 make her love me too
If I can't love her, then who
[Bridge]
Long ago I should have seen
All the things I could have been
Careless and unthinking
I moved onward
[Final Chorus]
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 I could have loved her
And that she's set me free
[Outro]
But it's not to be
If I can't love her
Let the world be done with me
