Story Behind The Song

Basically my answer to the song "I can't make you love me" by Bonnie Raitt. I always felt she made the male part sound so insensitive.

Lyrics

I know I have to tell you gotta lay it on the line
Then turn around and walk away just leave this all behind
I wish it were so easy but it's not like I don't care
Still I cannot get beyond the fact there's something that is just not there

Don't look now
Gotta find the strength to turn away from you somehow
Don't look now
Cause you might just see a shadow of a doubt

There's nothing I can point to - no one single thing
But you talk about tomorrow and I can't say what it's gonna bring
And reasons won't support what doesn't stand up to the light
Still it's hard to say the words and do this thing I know is right

Don't look now
Gotta find the strength to walk away from you somehow
Don't look now
Cause you might just see a shadow of a doubt

Bridge

Stare at my face in the mirror
Pretend that I'm someone else
Who's trying to see what I look like
I'm hoping I can see myself


So let us end this moment please don't make it last
All this ugliness looks better when buried in the past
Just get yourself together please don't look at me that way
There's so much I could tell you but there's nothing more that I can say
