you can't make em

you can water the plant it may or may not live you can give and give and yet love may not live to follow you home not all the faces looking back from the cages will smile back at you today some will scrowl shriek and scowl or cowar no matter what you do you can't make em love you you can't make em love you no you can't make em love you all you can do is be kind you can get out of bed tell yourself today will be different I wont make mistakes I'll be left alone and maybe life will throw me some breaks but there will still be unwanted people knocking on your door there will still be the same dumb pests same dumb messages and endless requests same lack of rest never any wanted guests just loneliness at best you can't make em love you no you can't make em love you no you can't make em love you no you can't make em love you but all you can do is be kind all I can control is me I cant move the needle I can't reach into a mind force anyone's hand God only knows what I would find you can't make em want you no you can't make em want to no you can't make em want you no all I can do is the next right thing yeah all you can do is be kind you can't make em you can't make em you can't make em you can't Words and Music by Maryam El Sherif 2026 Flying Eggs Music
