Something I would never do - Elena's version

by Nontacitare

A filk (original re-write) I wrote of "Something I Would Never Do" as I imagine Elena singing it after the events of "The Magic Within." Original song owned by Disney and written by Craig Gerber et al.

Something I Would Never Do

Elena's version

For oh so many years I have been haunted by one act of violence seen in my youth.

Then 41 years trapped in a locket, afraid no one would ever learn the truth.

Finally I was freed. Now it would be my time. I'd reclaim my throne with honor and with pride.

But when I went to face the witch who slew my family, there you were just standing by her side. You lied.

Now I cannot let this bring me down. I make the call, I wear the crown. Not so thrilled yet still I know what I must do.

I can't protect my family's heart. I have to break their world apart. Forgiving you is something I would never do.

Something I would never do.

Years ago, I did not know just how much you hated me.

But now I feel the nightmare's real and I find I must lose my family.

I believed all your little lies. I never questioned your alibi. I'm such a fool! Yet still I know what I must do.

I can't protect my troubled heart. I have to break my world apart.

Losing you is something that I have to…

Forgiving you is something I would never…

Exiling you is something that I have to do.

Forgiveness… Something I would never do.
