Turn down the lights,

turn away your head

Turn down these voices inside my head

as they tell me so many things

questions I've always wondered

answers I've begged not to recieve

Lay down with me, tell me no lies

Don't tell me you don't want me

Be still they hand

Just hold me close

Don't remember me

how I used to be

cause I can't make you love me

if you don't (want to)

You can't make your heart feel

something it won't (damnit!)

I wish I could

(No I don't)

Here in the dark

in my lonely hours

I will lay down my heart (As I've done a million times before)

And I'll pray that it doesn't fail me.

and I'll feel the power of emotion surging through me

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 (with my knife)

And I will give up this fight

Chorus: 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

of it burning through me

But you won't, no you won't

'cause I can't make you love me, if you don't
