- I Can't Make You Love Me LyricsTurn 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 (2x) 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 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
Ain't no use in you trying.
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 (2x) 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
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 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
Ain't no use in you trying.

Girl, I have this intense love for you, but I know it may be futile to rekindle what we once had, but I want this one last night to feel you close to me. In the morning we can go our separate ways.

Do you even know how many times I've reached out to you in the dark? Even during the day? I loved you then, now, and forever-beyond eternity. Call me, please. Final hours are approaching. Camila

Being in love with a friend that doesn't feel the same kills inside. You try to break away and stop thinking and talking to that friend but its even more hurtful to cut all contact.
