I Can't Make You Love Me – English Lyrics

• By: Adele

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

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

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 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

...
