Turn down the lights,
turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with m ,
tell me no lies
Just hold me close, don't patronize
Don't patronize
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 (right into the intro below)
/E5th] >>
2]
I'll close my eyes,
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
repeat / fade (solo)
