Disclaimer: (le sigh)
Author's Note: Since Twilight parody songs seem to be popular nowadays, I thought I'd give it a go. Not that mine's funny… at least, I hope not, 'cause that would mean I suck at writing lyrics. This is a Twilight remake to the tune of "If I Can't Love Her" from the Beauty and the Beast musical. I've always loved this song for Edward… Those of you who know this song will recognize how much I love it for Edward, because the two refrains are very nearly untouched. Eh heh… what can I say? If it fits, it fits…
Timeline: Very beginning of New Moon.
Warnings: Not my most impressive work, but hopefully still enough to make you smile.

If I Can't Save Her
XXX
And in my golden eyes
Full of bloodlust and lies
I see no hinting of my lost humanity
And in my tortured heart
I see her ripped apart
A fear I know some day could be reality
X
Broken
As her life drains
As her eyes fade
In my cruel illusion
Strengthened
By this vision
Cold and driven
I reach this set conclusion…
X
No beauty could move me
No goodness improve me
No power on earth, if I can't save her
No passion could reach me
No lesson could teach me
Now I will protect her, though it means I must go
Be safe now that you are alone
X
It breaks my heart, this sacrifice!
But for your life I'll pay this price!
With a final lie I tell you good-bye…
X
No pain could be deeper!
No life could be cheaper!
No point anymore, if I can't save her
No spirit could win me!
No hope left within me!
Hope's all that I have now that I've set her free
Keep her safe, God, please
If I can't save her
Let the world me done with me!
