It Had Always Been You

Don't patronize me.

'Coz I can't make you love me
If you don't.
You can't make your heart feel
Something it won't.
Here in the dark
In these final hours,
I will lay down my heart
And I'll feel the power;
But you won't.
No, you won't.
'Coz I can't make you love me
If you don't.

I Can't Make You Love Me, Bonnie Raitt


I've been listening to this song for hours already. And it still could bring a tear to my eyes. Sadness is like a candle; you can't put it out if you're not ready to face the fire.
