I imagined this as Jacob talking to Bella during New Moon. The song is Dear Friend by Stacie Orrico. I used parts of New Moon

Dear friend
What's on your mind?
I saw, actually heard, Bella's truck rumble down the driveway. My head was poked out one of the windows that dotted the barn-like house. A smile stretched across my now-aged features, and I raced out of the house. At my amazing speed, I met her halfway down the driveway.
"Hey, Jacob!" she called. I was still smiling from ear to ear. We went inside and briefly visited with Billy before we snuck out to the shop to work on Bella's newly acquired motorbikes.
As we made small talk about the Volkswagen I was restoring, I felt this pang in my heart. I could tell she was thinking about her bloodsucker… uh, Edward.
You don't laugh the way you used to
But I'm not used to hearing you cry
A few weeks later, I was teaching her how to ride her motorcycle that we had finally finished.
"Okay, where's your clutch?" I asked her. She let go of the grip to point to the lever on the left handle bar. The bike moved underneath her, and I quickly steadied it so she wouldn't go flying. We went over some more basics, and then I let her go. She looked completely zoned out, as if she were somewhere else.
"Bella!" I yelled. She still wouldn't hear me. "Bella!" She was headed straight for the trees. She seemed to snap out of her trance, but hit the foot brakes and the bike flew from one side of the road to the other, then she went to the ground. Her face was smashed into a patch of moss, the bike stalling on top of her. I ran towards her at a supernatural speed. I got her out and into the truck when it all came together in my mind. Somehow, near death experiences connected her to the bloodsucker. My grip tightened on the wheel, but I tried to mask my anger for Bella's sake.
Dear friend
I feel so helpless
Even with my new abilities, I couldn't help her. Healing broken hearts didn't come with the territory of being a werewolf. A few days later, Sam pulled me aside.
"Jake, listen. It's hard when you imprint. It might take awhile for her to come around, to realize the inevitable. You just gotta be patient, man."
"What if that isn't enough?"
"It has to be, man. It has to be."
I see you sit in silence
As you face the pain each day
I feel there is nothing I can do
She sat alone in her bedroom. The pack sent me to check on her, what with the lady leech running around and all. She was perched on the end of her bed, completely motionless. I could hardly detect whether or not she was breathing. The only indicators of her existence were the tears that slipped down her cheeks. There was no loud, heart-wracking sobs, just silent tears. For Charlie's sake, I guess. After a while, she whispered his name, barely audible.
"Edward."
I know you don't feel pretty
Even though you are
We were walking on the beach at La Push, mostly in silence. We didn't need constant chatter. We could almost tell what the other one was thinking.
"Jake?"
"Yeah?"
"Am I ugly?"
"What kind of question is that?"
Her voice came in a whisper. "I'm not as wonderful as a vampire. Is that why he left me?"
But it wasn't your beauty
That bound you in my heart
"I'll always think you're beautiful, Bells." I slung my arm around her frail shoulders and pulled her close to me. She cried again for the sickening, nausea-inducing leech.
Dear Friend
You are so precious
Dear friend
Dear friend
I'm here for you
"Bella?"
"Yeah, Jake?"
I touched her hair gently. "You're my world."
She smiled at me. "I've always thought of you as my sun. You balance out my clouds."
I know you don't talk too much
But we can share this day anewDear friend
Please don't feel like you're alone
Sometimes, she'll call me at, like, three or four in the morning. When these calls became more common, I slept with our cordless phone in my hand. At about three forty-five one morning, the phone rang.
"Jake?"
"Hey Bella."
I could hear her sobbing convulsively on the other end of the line. "Nightmare." She squeaked out.
I woke up immediately. "I'll be there in a minute. Don't move."
I took off my sweats and phased, not even bothering to tie my clothes to my leg. I carried them in my mouth.
There is someone
Someone who is praying for your peace of mind
Hoping that's what you find
As I ran, I prayed. I'm not a religious guy, but it was Bella. I would do anything, say anything, give anything. I prayed she'd hold on until I got there. Stopping outside the house, I phased back and threw my pants back on, then quickly climbed the side of the house to Bella's window, which she promptly opened. I came in and drew her close.
I know you don't feel weak
Even though you are
"I'm-m-m-m-m o-o-k-a-a-y-y-y." She hiccupped through her sobs.
"Shhh…Hush now, Bella. It's gonna be ok. I'm here. It's ok. I'm right here." I continued to speak sweet nothings into her hair as she sobbed against my bare chest. She sank onto the bed, pulling me with her. I kept trying to comfort her.
But it wasn't your strength
That bound you in my heart
"Please, Bells. Don't cry. Please don't cry." Didn't she understand how badly it hurt me to see her cry?
"I can't help it." She sobbed harder.
"It'll be ok. Don't worry. I'm sorry. Bella," I said, pulling her upright so I could look into her eyes. "I love you."
"I love you Jake."
Dear Friend
You are so precious
Dear friend
Love it hate it do anything but flame it!
