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 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...
