I couldn’t make you love me Love doesn’t work that way Lonely hearts have so much to give Sex and love; companionship A life to share; a life to give Why is it so hard to find what others Find so easily I couldn’t make you love me Try as I might There wasn't a formula Or a pill – take two before bed It isn’t fair, I have to say All the losers you have loved, and Never looked my way Lovers with no futures Never intending to stay Good enough, you liked to say When I asked why I wasn’t good enough When I loved you so much You said, I wanted more than you could give You liked to live in the moment Taking a chance when it comes your way Wrapped in sheets your passion bright Lost in an illusion No thought of tomorrow You said, you had no love to give me The feeling wasn't there You called me a lonely heart, and Said you'd only hurt me, and I knew you're not wrong I would have given my heart freely Even knowing you’d break it one day Lonely hearts can embrace the night, but When the daylight comes, and The passions gone All we are left with is regret, and A pledge to never be fooled again Knowing it is a lie How could I offer something as precious as my love Knowing I'd get nothing back I've come to realize its true I couldn’t make you love me Thankfully Love doesn’t work that way
