Summary-Will and Norrington reflect over their love. It's wills POV first half, the second half is Norrington.

You can take her
Make her change her name

You can have her, you can take her away from me, you can turn her into Mrs. Norrington, do whatever you want with her. Go ahead, she's yours, there's nothing I can do about it, there's nothing I can do to stop you from having Elizabeth.


You and your old money
Dance around the flame

Your money, that's the only thing that you have over me. You have wealth, you have power. And that means everything here on this godforsaken island. You're the all powerful Commodore, the Admiral of the Carribean, and I'm naught more than the blacksmith's apprentice.


But you can never, never love her like me

That's the only thing I have over you Commodore. I love her, with all my heart and all my soul. I love her more than you ever could, I love her enough to die for her, and I almost did. while you sat on your ship, ready to see both of us dead.


You can charm her
Calm her when she's wild

That always was your specialty, wasn't it? Calming people. Even in the midst of a battle with undead pirates, your men were always so calm. And you're quite charming, I'll give you that much. Half the women in Port Royal lust over you.


Show a little comfort
Play with her inner child

You never have shown emotion, except, it seems, around Elizabeth. You know how to comfort her, how to soothe her. An dyou know how to teas her inner child, the same way that I know how to.


But you can never, never love her like me

But I love her and you don't. It's that simple. Even if you do love her, no one in the world loves her like I do. I love her so much more than you ever could, Commodore.

So I just close my eyes and steal her away when you sleep
Sneak her in my dreams every single day of the week

If I can't have her when I'm awake, then I shall live in eternal slumber, where I can have her in my dreams forever. She may be yours by the day, but at night, she's all mine, she's the one that I run to, that runs to me in my dreams.


You may have her in real world but if you could only see
How we rock this room in the twilight zone

You may have her in life, but you can never compare to how I love her in my dreams.

And you can never, never love her like me

But you never can love her like I will.

******


You can warm her
Charm her with your style

You have such charm, for such a lowly boy. You're nothing more than a poor blacksmith's apprentice, an orphan boy, who if it wasn't for me and my crew would be dead, adrift at the wide open sea.

I know you convinced her
She's the love of your life

You've charmed her into loving you, you've stolen her away from me, you've convinced her that she's the only one that you love.

And no, you'll never, never love her like me

And I love her more than you ever could, I love her with my whole being. Not even my job, that I've spent most of my life working for, comes before her.

You can bless her
Keep her conscience clean

I've seen you in action boy, and I'll give you this much, for a former pirate, for someone who went out and sailed with Jack Sparrow, you have amazingly strong morals.


You can undress her
Go all the places I've been

I've seen so much more of her than you have. She was betrothed to me long before I even proposed to her. I loved her for almost as long as I've known her.


But you'll never, never love her like me

I love her more than you ever could hope to. What you feel near is lust, you cannot love her, not with how short you've known her. I love her, I truly love her.

So I'll just close my eyes and steal her away when you sleep

Sneak her in my dreams every single day of the week

She'll always be mine, even if she doesn't love me like she loves you. I'm willing to concede her to you only because she loves you too.

You may have her in the real world but if you could only see

How we rock this world in the twilight zone

I'll let you marry her, but remember that she's still only mine, and she will still always be mind, no matter what.

And no you'll never, never love her like me.
