I Can't Make You Love Me

Is this just like my mother?
Abandon everything I had
A story lasting centuries
But I never had a chance

I can't make you love me the way that I need
I can't make you love me for all of my dreams
I can't make you love me the way that you need
I can't make you love me for you to be free (for you to be)

Am I not in your future? (Oh forever)
The cards are telling me you're scared
Connection getting looser (oh forever)
Pain is the lesson we all share

I can't make you love me the way that I need
I can't make you love me for all of my dreams
I can't make you love me the way that you need
I can't make you love me for you to be free (for you to be)

I can't make you love me the way that I need
I can't make you love me for all of my dreams
I can't make you love me the way that you need
I can't make you love me for you to be free (for you to be)
