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 patronise
Don't patronise me
[Chorus]
'Cause I can't make you love me
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
No, 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
[Chorus]
'Cause I can't make you love me
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
No, you won't, no, you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
[Chorus]
'Cause I can't make you love me
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
No, you won't, no, you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
Oh, yeah, here in the dark, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
No, but you won't, no, you won't
I can't make you love me
You can't make your love feel something that it won't
I can't make you love me if you don't
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me, tell me no lies
Just hold me close, don't patronise
Don't patronise me
[Chorus]
'Cause I can't make you love me
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
No, 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
[Chorus]
'Cause I can't make you love me
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
No, you won't, no, you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
[Chorus]
'Cause I can't make you love me
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
No, you won't, no, you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
Oh, yeah, here in the dark, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
No, but you won't, no, you won't
I can't make you love me
You can't make your love feel something that it won't
I can't make you love me if you don't
