If I Cant Love Her by John Barrowman Lyrics

And in my twisted face, there's not the slightest 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 flies, love a lost illusion
Helpless, unforgiven, cold and driven to this sad conclusion

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?

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 I could have loved her and that she'd set me free!
But it's not to be
If I can't love her, let the world be done with me
