I Can't Make You Love Me lyrics 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, 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 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. 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 till 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 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.
I think almost everyone alive must have loved someone who didn't love them back..... This is the issue with our hearts, they are not controlled by our brains.

True. If we left hearts unfettered they would just give out endless love to everyone and experess it in every way possible.
Unrequited Love? You quit love, then you requit...and un-re-quited....that means you un requit once but that leaves the quited love to start with......so!......you quited...love.

Yup I sure have but I'll get over the hurt.I'm a big girl.But I won't become a bitter woman because of it.
I have suffered the reverse though, more than once. It is difficult to tell somebody you do not care for them in the same way, particularly for somebody like me who hates hurting another persons feelings.
Cowardly perhaps on my part, or perhaps too caring.

I wouldn't know, but if giving your opinion causes hurt then you appear to have no problem.
Relationships are based on trust. Truth plays an important part in that trusting process.
The truth hurts, but less than lies and if you pretended to love somebody or at least pretended to feel for them more than you actually did then that's insincere behaviour and not nice and living a lie and going to cause ultimately more hurt than the truth.

Why are you being so idiotic with me tonight?
I did not say that I had lied, nor pretended to love anybody, I said that it was difficult to tell somebody that your feelings were not as strong as theirs. It is possible to have a relationship where one is more enamoured than the other, no?. I´m sure you have experienced this in your long dating history. I bow to your experience. I met my ex husband at 16 and stayed with him until my forties. I do not seem to have your track record so enlighten me.

I did fall deeply in love with someone. I thought she felt the same about me...at least she said she did.
In the end, I don't think she really did love me. It took me a long time to figure that out and it has helped. But the months of pain I went through when she broke my heart was real.
I am not sure if that was technically unrequited love, but it was close.

I Can't Make You Love Me lyrics
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, 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 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.
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 till 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 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.
