I Can't Make You Love Me
I don't know what I have to do
All I know is that I love you
Don't know how to make you see
I'm just happy to be
When I'm around you
I clam up, you know it's true
You turn me to stone
I'd even settle for a loan
Just a little love
Just a little love
You say you love me
But you haven't fallen yet
Well I don't remember when I did
But if I do, I'll be sure to get
A hold of you, to show you who I am
To prove to you what you've done to me
You've reduced me to mindless mush
I'm not sure you can ever see
Or hear, or fear, or feel
Feel what you've done to me
Now I'm hanging out
Sitting on a tree branch
Over looking your fields of grey
I want your color but I guess I can't
I haven't earned it yet
So you make it seem
We've been so close for so long
When will you just lean
A little my way?
You're covered in my blood now and you will never be clean
All I know is that I love you
Don't know how to make you see
I'm just happy to be
When I'm around you
I clam up, you know it's true
You turn me to stone
I'd even settle for a loan
Just a little love
Just a little love
You say you love me
But you haven't fallen yet
Well I don't remember when I did
But if I do, I'll be sure to get
A hold of you, to show you who I am
To prove to you what you've done to me
You've reduced me to mindless mush
I'm not sure you can ever see
Or hear, or fear, or feel
Feel what you've done to me
Now I'm hanging out
Sitting on a tree branch
Over looking your fields of grey
I want your color but I guess I can't
I haven't earned it yet
So you make it seem
We've been so close for so long
When will you just lean
A little my way?
You're covered in my blood now and you will never be clean
