I can't make you love me lyrics

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

'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 and 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, 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

'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 and 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...
