I Can't Make You Love Me

[Verse 1]

Ice cold, into the dark

I watch your eyes glow

I stand frozen, try to move close

But you're not there

And I stare into your eyes

The light is blinding

Biding my time

To wait for lightning

To strike twice but it won’t

[Pre-Chorus]

I look in your eyes and I see trouble

But trouble is a friend of mine

And it follows me around

I start to struggle now, my mind is working overtime

[Chorus]

If I can’t make you love me

If I can’t make you stay

I'll camp myself in a sleeping bag

Outside your door

If I can’t make you love me

[Verse 2]

Lights on, back in the room

I watch you join dots

Turning the screw until the penny drops

And you realize

It’s too late, gravity pulls until the cord breaks

Pendulum falls, maybe it’s too late

It’s not meant to be, is it?

[Pre-Chorus]

I look in your eyes and I see trouble

But trouble is a friend of mine

And it follows me around

I start to struggle now, my mind is working overtime

[Chorus]

If I can’t make you love me

If I can’t make you stay

I'll camp myself in a sleeping bag

Outside your door

Just like I swore

If I can’t make you want me

If I can’t make you stay

Then I’ll hold on to your pillow

Till you come back tomorrow

If I can’t make you love me

[Bridge]

And heaven knows

You've got a storm cloud in your heart

And heaven knows

Every ending has to start

[Chorus]

If I can’t make you love me

If I can’t make you stay

I'll camp myself in a sleeping bag

Outside your door

Just like I swore

If I can’t make you want me

If I can’t make you stay

Then I’ll hold on to your pillow

Till you come back tomorrow

If I can’t make you love me

[Outro]

If I can’t make you love me

If I can’t make you love me

If I can’t make you love me
