I Can't Make You Love Me

I Can't Make You Love Me

Original by Bonnie Raitt 

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 me

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

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

I'll close my eyes, then I won't see

The love you don't feel when you're holding me

Morning will come and I'll do what's right

Just give me till then to give up this fight

And I will give up this fight

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

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

Cover by Kurt Hugo Schneider & Alex G

Last but not least, James Arthur's short cover

I really loved James Arthur from the get go with his first audition cover of Tulisa's "Young". 

Never looked Tulisa up until I heard James' cover. 

He breathes a different rawness of pain and emotion along with his very sexy accent haha

A  lot of people resonate with the lyrics and emotions conveyed. 

Another contestant that blew me away from X Factor UK is Ella Henderson with her cover of "Believe" by Cher <3

"Well I know I will get through this. 

Well I know I am strong. 

I don't need you anymore...

Do you believe in life after love?"

I believe.
