Turn down the lights
Turn down the bed
Turn down these voices
Inside my head
Lay down with me
And tell me no lies
Just hold me closly
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 that it won’t
And even in the dark
These final hours
I will lay down my heart
I will feel the power
But you won’t
No, you won’t
‘Cause I can’t make you love me
When you don’t
When you don’t, yeah
I’ll close my eyes
‘Cause then I don’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 that it won’t
And even in the dark
These final hours
I will lay down my heart
I will feel the power
But you won’t
No, you won’t
‘Cause I can’t make you love me
When you don’t
When you don’t, ooh don’t
You, when you don’t, yeah, yeah
