"You Can't Make Someone Love You"

Think you're deserving
That you're worth something more
But still you stand hurting
Though you're working so hard
With nothing to show
And it's coming up slow
The pain in your chest, you're depressed
Without rest and your heart
Is just barely aglow

It's got nothing to do with them
It's got nothing to do with you
No matter what you do
You can't make someone love you

Starting to wonder
Are you under a curse
Cause strangers and family,
Their roles are reversed
And you're all alone
Lost looking for home
Is this all that's left, just a breath
Makes no sense that you're here
Worn down to skin and bone

It's got nothing to do with them
It's got nothing to do with you
No matter what you do
You can't make someone love you
And maybe you're deserving
Yeah the rest of it is true
But no matter what you do
You can't make someone love you

And oh, this weight
I've got nothing to show
And my heart is just barely aglow
Just give me a spark of hope

No matter what you do
You can't make someone love you
You could raise a flag in honor
Or be painted black and blue
But you can't,
No you can't make someone love you
