I Can't Make You Love Me

Cause the pain left in my heart serves as a constant reminder
I continue to feel myself gradually becoming a little less kinder
Can't take back the love that once resided deep within my soul
Make me realize it’s now another thing you have gone and stole
You were really the one person in my life that I had truly wanted
Love to me was always more than what you had gone and taunted
Me, the person who loved you when many wanted me to be daunted

If you didn’t love me, why did you choose to not say anything at all?
You knew that I loved you and you went on to watch as I took the fall
Don't you even think of it? Or realize how cruel it was for you to stall?

You made me wait for weeks by the phone just to hear you were alright
Can't even get in a few words before you would once again take flight
Make yourself seem less guilty by feeding me the lies upon your return
Your words so cold yet also alluring, for them I was a fool who yearned
Heart breaking pain I let myself feel reminded me I’m the one to blame
Feel is all I did, ignoring my brain that told me to stop calling your name
Something had always seemed off, yet I never once brought it to attention
It probably was me admitting my loss, maybe this is why I felt so much tension
Won't you ever love me? No you won’t. It’s time I finally made that admission.
