i can't make you love me

Turn down the lights,

turn down the bed

Turn down these voices inside my head

Lay down with me, tell me no lies

Just hold me close, dont patronize

- dont patronize me

Chorus:

cause I cant make you love me

if you dont

You cant make your heart feel something it wont

Here in the dark,

in these lonely hours

I will lay down my heart and Ill feel the power

But you wont, no you wont

cause I cant make you love me,

if you dont

Ill close my eyes,

then I wont see

The love you dont feel when youre holding me

Morning will come

and Ill do whats right

Just give me till then to give up this fight

And I will give up this fight

Chorus:

cause I cant make you love me

if you dont

You cant make your heart feel something it wont

Here in the dark,

in these lonely hours

I will lay down my heart and Ill feel the power

But you wont,

no you wont cause

I cant make you love me,

if you dont

this song is aiza seguerra's version, but originally done by bonnie rait. i stumbled upon it via the asianfanatics news portal and followed the link to asian review 2.0. i'm not really surprised at aiza seguerra's voice, i mean, i've been listening to her since she came up with her 1st album years ago. it's just so incredibly soothing, like listening to water gently flowing down a brook. (did i really just go poetic there?) but this song, man, i could just visualize how people (girls) with broken hearts are listening to it while looking out the window into the night sky while it's raining. it makes you want to, well, for lack of better terms to use, it makes you want to emote. it makes you want to remember the feelings and memories that you try so hard to suppress deep inside.

so, go ahead and emote. don't worry, nobody's looking.
