lead a horse to water

Always making sacrifices

Doing whatever you like when

I don't agree

And maybe that's on me

I always say "I love you" first

Damn, it hurts that they're just words to you

But can't you see

That ain't fair to me?

Giving it all with nothing in return

Tale as old as time turned to a lesson learned

You can lead a horse to water

And pour it all out 'til the well is dry

Like I've laid my heart on a silver platter

You can't seem to see what's right before your eyes

You can lead a horse to water

But, damn, if he won't drink

I can love you more than I oughta

But I can't make you love me

Maybe I am just convinced

That he's as good as it gets

And I'll never find better

So I'll put up with whatever

It takes "I'm done"

Playing games you've won

I might've done the leaving

But let's not forget the reason

You can lead a horse to water

And pour it all out 'til the well is dry

Like I've laid my heart on a silver platter

You can't seem to see what's right before your eyes

You can lead a horse to water

But, damn, if he won't drink

I can love you more than I oughta

But I can't make you love me

Oh, oh

Can't make you want me

Can't make you change

Can't make you beg for me to stay when I walk away

'Cause you can lead a horse to water

And pour it all out 'til the well is dry

Like I've laid my heart on a silver platter

You can't seem to see what's right before your eyes

'Cause you can lead a horse to water

But damn, if he won't drink

I can love you more than I oughta

But I can't make you love me
