Lyrics:
Turn down the lights
Turn down the bed
Turn down these voices
Inside my head

Lay down with me
Tell me no lies
Just hold me close
Don't patronize
Don't patronize

'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
And 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

And I'll close my eyes
So I cannot see
The love that you don't feel
When you're holding me

Morning will come
And I'll do what's right
Just give me 'til then
To give up this fight
I will give up this fight

'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
And 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

'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
And 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

'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't

This is what music sounds like when the artist really understands the lyrics. He is not singing; he is converting deep emotions into sound. So much soul and so vulnerable. I love it. Thank you Teddy Swims!

[nikkibennett]

This is one of the best covers of this song that I've ever heard. His voice is absolutely beautiful. It feels like he's singing directly to my soul.

[EmpressMissH]

To think my young nephew introduced me to Teddy Swims' music...I taught that baby well. He has a great ear for music and a soul. Now I’m discovering more of Teddy's sounds on my own and I am grateful to him and to Teddy. Teddy, you are gold. Loving you from beautiful South Africa 🇿🇦 ❤️

This man's voice is a gift from God

[DivaDivine]

Who is still listening to this in March 2024? I swear my heart, body, mind and soul pauses for every beat, every word and every body movement including the sweat he's clearly crying from his eyes lol. Just can't get enough of this man. Love all your songs but this one is my favorite. Thanks for blessing my heart with this gift.

[arielfitzpatrick]

Usually I can describe how someone’s voice makes me feel, but this time...I don’t even know what to say man. HIS VOICE IS UNREAL OMG 😭😭😍😍🤧🤧

[papacafy]

im so glad this randomly showed in my recommended. good god, this was incredible

[jamesjones]

Goin thru this right now. Lost weight thoughts of ending it all. Never thought I’d love someone so hard. Never cried so much. Never felt a pain so deep. I read these comments and it gives me strength knowing I’m not the only one who’s felt like this before. I know that I too will stand back up and be the man god wants me to be for my daughter. Thank you for this song and thank you everyone who commented.

[latiyfscarborough]

I've broken down to this song more times than I can count. Whoever is reading this it will get better. I love

[jenniferdurham]

Good grief. I don't know how I missed this guy until now. His tone and voice control are out of this world.

[GaMbIt]

This song touched me. I havent cried in months but I did today. Ive gone thru the worst breakup of my life (15 years). The comments really did me in. Thank you for this tho, such a great rendition. There will always be brighter days ahead. 🙏

[vanillawafer]

The hardest thing ever is letting go of someone you love with all of your heart and soul. Finding the strength to face the world daily is a struggle. 😢💔

I can recall going through a divorce years ago, and going to sit in front of the same lake every day after work until dark. A lot of men won't admit such hurt, that penetrates your heart, mind & soul! And, I'm sure I will lose my man-card due to such transparency, but I'm ok with that! I lost 30 pounds, couldn't eat, couldn't think, couldn't sleep & at times couldn't even breathe! I prayed & cried continually asking God to make my marriage work out, and for my ex-wife to come back home. Man, I tell you, I cried enough tears to fill up that entire lake. I missed her kisses, her touch, her hugs, her eyes, etc. It took me a year of the same routine, before realizing that "I couldn't make her love me, if she didn't, I couldn't make her feel something she wouldn't", so I finally mustered up the strength to move forward with life. I now carry a piece of that lake with me 20 years later! To all of you who had your hopes & dreams shattered, you "can't make someone love you if they don't, and you can't make their heart feel something it won't". I wish you the best, life will go on. Hang in there my friend, hang in there. - Jerel

Just fucked my whole day up. In the best of ways. All the times you've broken a heart. All the times your heart's been broken. All rolled up in a song being sung by a guy who looks like a lumberjack. Life is absolutely amazing.

[tamaramartin]

His voice has a way of making you be still and just listen to the words 🌹

[audremyers]

Hi, Teddy. The 72 yr. old lady again. I just heard you sing I Can't Make You Love Me. Bonnie's version brings me to tears every time I hear it so I was a little nervouse to hear your version. I shouldn't have worried. You did a very good job at it. Thank you.

[Jhurst]

This is what I call music. Relaxation music at that. He did it again he never cease to amaze us. Keep it up.

[almungos]

This song resonates with me on a special level today, sometimes youtube's suggestions are just too spot on.

[kristamaeh]

This man doesn’t just sing this song but he feels it. Every note. Every hand motion. He MEANS it

[JayRebel-wv]

I'm a very empathetic person and I can be emotional. A lot of artists sometimes choke me up, but teddy does something no singer has ever done. Some of his songs take my breath away. Amazing, beautiful, and original voice. Thank you Teddy
