lyrics
I can't make you love me
Can't make you want me
However hard I try
I can't make you see me
Can't raise a heartbeat
And I don't know why
Standing on the side-lines
Looking in on what might
Have been mine
Regretting all my past mistakes
Wishing I could take my place
But now I find
I'm losing time
But when those shadows fall
I'll leave a night-light on
I'll keep the embers warm
Waiting for your return
Even the darkest place
Deep in my soul can't chase
Away the hope
I'll keep holding on, holding on
I'll keep holding on
I can't make you love me
But I will humbly
Keep giving all I can
I can't make you need me
But like an old tree
I'm rooted where I stand
Waiting branches open
Until they get the notion
To be mine
Staring into outer-space
Wishing for a warm embrace
But now I find
Is not our time
But when those shadows fall
I'll leave a night-light on
I'll keep the embers warm
Waiting for your return
Even the darkest place
Deep in my soul can't chase
Away the hope
I'll keep holding on, holding on
I'll keep holding on
And when the darkness comes
I'll wait until the dawn
I'll praise the warming sun
That a new day begun
And though I feel the fear
Wihout you standing near
I'll let the light burn
I'll keep holding on, holding on
I'll keep holding on
I cant make you love me
Can't make you want me
However hard I try
