I Can't Make You Love Me

Realizing that I can't make you love me
Makes my heart start to break a little
I don't know what your intentions are

Since my planning can't reach that part of you

But I want you like nothing before

And I know I can't make you love me

For I have tried this task in the past

I couldn't learn to love him back then
As another couldn't grasp my own unrequited love

And I know you can't love me

If your heart won't feel it on its own

But I yearn for us to make sense

And for our hearts to be one

I can only hope and pray

That your touches are as real

To you as they are to me

My heart hurts thinking about

The chance that we'll end before we even start

I want you to tell me what you feel

Even if my heart gets pierced

Because I promise I will be strong

If everything falls apart

Even though I don't know

What I'll do if you don't love me

And I don't know how long it will take

For my heart to heal if my love you don't accept

I don't want guilt to build in your soul

When our souls were never meant to be

I will have to pour out the colors of my heart

And hope it works out better than before
I can't make you love me
But I hope you can love me on your own
