What Can I Do (To Make You Love Me)

Stinging rejection, all I did was tell you how I felt,

Listen to the beating of my heart, though I doubt its still whole,

You won't listen to reason, or you'd see that I'm all I promise to be.

No matter what I do, I can't make you love me,

I can't make you see the beauty I see every time I stare into your beautiful eyes.

What can I do, how many tears must fall from these eyes before you realize?

I have to wonder, what can I do to make you love me in return,

If I change the way I look, the way I react will you see into my soul?

What can I do, I deserve a chance to win your heart.


Sweet, beautiful angel, why have such a sorrowful face,

I understand the times are rough, but I'll hold you tall,

Let me be the support that you need, I won't crumble under you.

I just want to hug the pain away, tell you everything will be alright,

The sun will come out tomorrow dear, don't fear the dark,

We'll overcome obstacles together, the dark will disappear soon,

And then we'll have each other's faith, the trust we worked so hard to build and protect.

Just listen to your heart, it will lead you where you need to go,

I'll wait for eternity for you to accept my warm embrace.

Enticing rose, your petals have withered away,

Your fears and hopes to please everyone will undo you,

Just lead yourself along the path, and I'll watch your sheen reappear.

I want to help you, please let me be your light, I'll burn bright, reveal to you the way,

We'll bring new life to your lovely face, let help replace your tears with laughs,

When will you realize, your beautiful just being you,

Baby don't struggle, don't change who you are,

Just don't let anyone influence your mind, you need to be your own hero,

Your own warrior, no matter how hard I try,

For, I can't save you while you sleep,

No baby, I can't help you make up your mind,

Please just keep your face, don't wear that mask,

Your beauty needs nothing to enhance it, you glow with confidence, don't let anything mar you.

Heart of hearts, you've stood by me in my time,

And I'm here for you, I'll never make you leave me,

I'll never let you fall too far,

But no matter how hard I try, you must save yourself,

For I cannot protect you from the trials of life, you must stay strong on your own.

Oh, I wish I could stand over you, protect you from the blows of life,

But you need to know how to live without someone holding the world upon their shoulders,

I have faith in you, I know you'll succeed, for you are strong.

Always be brave, for me.


Oh, dream of dreams, your face follows me in my sleep,

I see you struggling, and I long to hold you tight, let me take away all pain,

I promise you, listen to the beating of your heart, the eternal arrow,

Pointing directly towards your happy ending,

But please realize now, there are hardships along the road,

Ones that only you can conquer, but if you need a friend,

Here I am, waiting for you, praying for you to succeed.

My dear angel, please dance once more, please smile for me alone,

Please let your eyes glow, let your soul glow within.

Please make my spirit glimmer, make my smile return, take my hands once,

And let me lead you a long the path, while I can see,

We'll move quickly, towards the new dawn, towards a new day, when you are free,

And when I am with you, and let that day continue forever.

Sweet angel,

Sing for me,

Enticing rose,

Bloom once more,

Heart of hearts,

Beat for forever more,

Dream of dreams,

Don't leave me alone.
