Dave Thomas Junior  - I Can't Make You Love Me 我無法使你愛我

Turn down the lights
把燈都關上

Turn down the bed
也把床鋪鋪好

Turn down these voices inside my head
再順手將我腦海裡的那些聲音也關掉

Lay down with me
在我身旁躺下

Tell me no lies
不要對我撒謊

Just hold me close
就緊緊地抱著我就好

don't patronize
別敷衍我

Don't patronize me
要緊緊地抱著我別敷衍

'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
因為如果你不是愛我的，我也無法使你愛我

You can't make your heart feel something it won't
你也不能讓違背自己的心意

Here in the dark, in these final hours
在這黑暗中的最後幾個小時裡

I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
我會卸下我的心房並再次堅強起來

But you won't, no you won't
但你不會
不...你不會

'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't
因為如果你不是愛我的，我也不能逼迫你那麼做

I'll close my eyes, then I won't see
我會閉上雙眼，這樣就不會看見

The love you don't feel when you're holding me
每當你將我擁在懷中，你我所感受的愛並不相同

Morning will come and I'll do what's right
當清晨來臨時，我會做出對的決定

Just give me till then to give up this fight
而在我放棄追求你的愛之前，能否再給我多一點的時間

And I will give up this fight
我會遵守承諾放棄這場拉扯

'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
因為如果你不是愛我的，我也無法使你愛我

You can't make your heart feel something it won't
你更不能違背自己的心意

Here in the dark, in these final hours
在黑暗中的最後幾個小時裡

I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
我會卸下我的心房並再次堅強起來

But you won't, no you won't
但你不會
不…你並不會

'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don’t
因為如果你不是愛我的，我也不能逼迫你那麼做

Don't even try... don't even try
別試圖當個濫好人
更別試圖假裝愛我

Don't even try... don't even try
別試圖當個濫好人
更別試圖假裝愛我

Don't even try... don't even try
別試圖當個濫好人
更別試圖假裝愛我

後記：

這首歌有許多翻唱的版本，而Dave Thomas Junior的版本則是我最喜愛的
對我而言這首歌除了在傳遞放下那些不屬於自己以外，還有一種放手後的海闊天空
