Ad Solem Ruβrum

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 closely
Don’t patronize, don’t patronize me

‘Cause I can’t make you love me if you don’t
You can’t make your heart feel something that it won’t
And here in the dark, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and feel the power
But you won’t, no, you won’t
‘Cause I can’t make you love me
When you don’t, when you don’t

I’ll close my eyes, ’cause then I won’t see
The love you don’t feel when you’re holding me
Morning will come and I’ll do what’s right, just give me
‘Til then to give up this fight 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 that it won’t
And here in the dark, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I will feel the power
But you won’t, no, you won’t

Make you love me
make your heart feel
here in the dark…

Make You Feeel My Love

When the rain is blowing in your face,
And the whole world is on your case,
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love.
When the evening shadows and the stars appear,
And there is no one there to dry your tears,
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love.

I know you haven’t made your mind up yet,
But I would never do you wrong.
I’ve known it from the moment that we met,
No doubt in my mind where you belong.

I’d go hungry; I’d go black and blue,
I’d go crawling down the avenue.

No, there’s nothing that I wouldn’t do
To make you feel my love.

The storms are raging on the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret.
The winds of change are blowing wild and free,
You ain’t seen nothing like me yet.

I could make you happy, make your dreams come true.
Nothing that I wouldn’t do.
Go to the ends of the Earth for you,
To make you feel my love
To make you feel my love
