Lyrics

Make Me Lovely

[Chorus]

I can't make you love me

You can't make me lovely

Please don't try to hold me down

It's over now

I will go where you can't find me

I don't think I can trust you

I don't know what I'm supposed to do

We got lost when we went too far

Give back my soul and take my heart

[Chorus]

I can't make you love me

You can't make me lovely

Please don't try to hold me down

It's over now

I will go where you can't find me

[Bridge]

Don't want the world

Lose my soul

Don't want the world

Lose my soul

I can't make you love me (Make you love me)

(Make me lovely)

You can't make me lovely (Make you love me)

(Make me lovely)

[Verse]

I don't need love to rescue me

I'll be all that I choose to be

When the sky fills with falling stars

Give back my soul and take my heart

[Chorus]

I can't make you love me

You can't make me lovely

Please don't try to hold me down

It's over now

I will go where you can't find me

[Outro]

Don't want the world

Lose my soul

Don't want the world

And lose my soul

Don't want the world

Lose my soul

Don't want the world

Lose my soul

Don't want the world

Lose my soul

Don't want the world

Lose my soul

Don't want the world

Lose my soul

(I don't) Don't want the world

Lose my soul

I don't want the world

Lose my soul

Don't want the world

Lose my soul
