I can't make you love me

I can't make you feel

I don't have any idea how

to make you see what's real

I can't make you happy

I can't make you glad

I can't take away your pain

or hold you when you're sad

I can't make you smile

I can't make you cry

I won't get to hold you

close to my heart when i die

I can't make you stumble

I can't make you run too fast

I wish i could forget you,

wipe you clean out of the past

I can't make you love me

I can't make you care

I can't ever see you

cause you were never there.
