Lyrics
I Can't Make You Love
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Turn down the lights, turn down the bed
Turn down those voices inside my head
Lay down with me, tell me no lies
Just hold me close, don't patronize, don't patronize me.
´cos I can't make you love me, if you don't
And 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 and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no, you won't
'cos I can't make you love me, 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 'til then to give up this fight
And I will give up this fight.
