{ Bonnie Raitt - I Can't Make You Love Me }
Turn down the lights, 2:44 AM • Tuesday, February 07, 2006
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
Memories rush in, clawing upon my doors as if haunting me.
Memories still vividly exist, as if calling out to me.
Sweet ones locked away in me.
Heart-wrenching ones cling onto me.
Does that person know how I feel?
Does that person know how much I'm willing to give?
Does that person know I still wanna go back?
Does that person know I'm still waiting?
Yes, I'm at the corner waiting.
Yes, I don't show how I feel.
Yes, I'm still thinking of you every now and then.
Yes, I do wanna relive those sweet moments.
4 tough yet sweet months,
3 parties involved,
2 separate rings,
1 broken heart - mine.
