3. “I Can’t Make You Love Me” by Bonnie Raitt
‘Cause I can’t make you love me
If you don’t
You can’t make your heart feel
Somethin’ 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 …
There are those who stay in relationships knowing that the guy they share their bed with doesn’t love them. He’s cold. He’s distant; he uses your bed when it pleases him to do so. He loves you and leaves you. You know this, but when you share your bed with him all reason fades away. Doubt goes asunder and for mere minutes when he is inside of you, you can quake in his arms. There you can pretend that because he is with you, you are in his heart. You fool yourself. You see the indecision, you see the hesitation behind his words. There is no loyalty, but you succumb to the pleasure he presents, the half life he is willing to give you.
