2013年美国好声音 I Can't Make You Love Me - Luke Edgemon

Turn down the lights
Turn down the bed
Turn down these voices¹ inside² my head
Lay³ down with me, tell me no lies⁴

Just hold me close, don't patronize
Don't patronize me.
Cause⁵ I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart⁶ feel something it won't

Here in the dark⁷, in these final⁸ hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power⁹
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 holdin me
Mornin will come and I'll do what's right
Just give me till¹⁰ then to give up this fight¹¹
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
