I Can't Make You Love Me Lyrics

Artist: Bonnie Raitt

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
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 till 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
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these lonely 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

This sums it up. I have to say goodbye and let go, even though I don't want too.

why is that we always want what we can't have?

This beautiful song reminds me of someone I love completely who just didn't want me anymore -- I didn't know such pain existed my heart is forever broken....

This is how I'm feeling right now. After 11 years why do I still have to ask you to show that you love me. How hard is it to appreicate my love and give yours in return. The things I give up to make this work. Damn if you do, damn if you don't. Good Luck Yall
