I Can't Make You Love Me

I can't make you love me

Turn down the lights, turn down the bed

Turn down these voices inside my head

Lay down with me and tell me no lies

Just hold me close and don't patronize

Don't patronize me

'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't, no

You can't make your heart feel something that it won't

Here in the dark, in these final hours

I will lay down my heart till I feel the power

But you won't, no, you won't

'Cause I can't make you love me, oh yeah, if you don't

I'll close my eyes, then I won't see

The love you don't feel when you're holding me

Morning will come and I'll do what's right

Just give me till then to give up this fight

And I will give up this fight

'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't

'Cause you can't make your heart feel something it won't

Here in the dark, in these final hours

I will lay down my heart till I feel the power

But you won't, no, you won't

'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't

Just let me hold you, baby, one more time

And maybe tonight I can change your mind

And make you love me like you did before

Leave a feeling in your heart you can't ignore

I feel that, baby, we can make this right

If you just give me one more night

I think that we're worth it and I feel we deserve it

If you feel that we don't have a chance

Then I can't make you love me if you don't

You can't make your heart feel something that it won't

Here in the dark, in these final hours

I will lay down my heart till I feel the power

But you won't, no, you won't

'Cause I can't make you love me

I can't make you love me

I can't make you love me

I can't make you love me
