[Verse 1]
Ice cold, into the dark
I watch your eyes glow
I stand frozen, try to move close
But you're not there
And I stare into your eyes
The light is blinding
Biding my time
To wait for lightning
To strike twice but it won’t
[Pre-Chorus]
I look in your eyes and I see trouble
But trouble is a friend of mine
And it follows me around
I start to struggle now, my mind is working overtime
[Chorus]
If I can’t make you love me
If I can’t make you stay
I'll camp myself in a sleeping bag
Outside your door
If I can’t make you love me
[Verse 2]
Lights on, back in the room
I watch you join dots
Turning the screw until the penny drops
And you realize
It’s too late, gravity pulls until the cord breaks
Pendulum falls, maybe it’s too late
It’s not meant to be, is it?
[Pre-Chorus]
I look in your eyes and I see trouble
But trouble is a friend of mine
And it follows me around
I start to struggle now, my mind is working overtime
[Chorus]
If I can’t make you love me
If I can’t make you stay
I'll camp myself in a sleeping bag
Outside your door
Just like I swore
If I can’t make you want me
If I can’t make you stay
Then I’ll hold on to your pillow
Till you come back tomorrow
If I can’t make you love me
[Bridge]
And heaven knows
You've got a storm cloud in your heart
And heaven knows
Every ending has to start
[Chorus]
If I can’t make you love me
If I can’t make you stay
I'll camp myself in a sleeping bag
Outside your door
Just like I swore
If I can’t make you want me
If I can’t make you stay
Then I’ll hold on to your pillow
Till you come back tomorrow
If I can’t make you love me
[Outro]
If I can’t make you love me
If I can’t make you love me
If I can’t make you love me
