Can't Force the Love

Can't tell you if it was for nothing

But I just wanna tell you one thing

I should have shown you all my scars

Before they tore us apart

You could have known right from the start

I was so afraid of looking weak

Lost in my ways in too deep

And knowing that in my soul was tearing me in two

I'm sorry that I couldn't face the truth

'Cause I could feel it in my bones

Before I knew we would never be enough

So I lied to myself even though I tried

I cannot force the love

Can't force the love

You burned yourself on something cold

Because I could never give you what you want

And I lied to myself, even though I tried

I can not force the love

Can't force the love

I always give up when things get difficult

'Cause love never fit in with the cynical

And that's why I had to leave

Before you'd see me bleed

I'll never be the person that you need

I hope that you find someone that you deserve

Someone who's not afraid of getting hurt

'Cause I only crawl so I don't have to fall

I'd rather have nothing than take it all

'Cause I could feel it in my bones

Before I knew we would never be enough

So I lied to myself even though I tried

I cannot force the love

Can't force the love

You burned yourself on something cold

Because I could never give you what you want

And I lied to myself, even though I tried

I can not force the love

Can't force the love

Force the love

Can't force the love

Can't force the love

Can't force the love

Can't force the love

'Cause I can feel it in my bones

Before I knew we would never be enough

So I lied to myself even though I tried

I cannot force the love

Can't force the love

You burned yourself on something cold

Because I, could never give you what you want

And I lied, to myself even though I tried

I cannot force the love

Can't force the love

Force the love

Can't force the love

I cannot force the love

Can't force the love
