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, tell me no lies

Just hold me close, don't patronize

Don't patronize me

'Cause 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, I'll feel the power

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

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

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

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

(When you're holding me)

The 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, yes

'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't (If you don't)

You can't make your heart feel something it won't (Something it won't)

Here in the dark, in these final hours

I will lay down my heart, I'll feel the power

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

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

If you don't

Lay down with me, tell me no lies

Just hold me close and don't patronize

(Lay down with me) I can't make you

(Tell me no lies) I can't make you love

(Just hold me close) I'll lay down my heart

And I know that you know and I know that you know and I know that you know

That I love you, baby

Oh yeah

(Lay down with me) Here in the dark

(Tell me no lies) In the final hours

(Just hold me close) Oh, I wish! Oh I wish I had the power

To make you love me

But you won't
