I Can't Make You Stay by John Jacob Webb

We were happy
Like lovers
We cared for each other
Never knowing
In the future
We'd hurt each other
Like a poem with no rhyme
It's a love out of time

Chorus:
So I turn my back
And walk away
Hoping you'd say
Don't go, please stay
I bowed my head
Then shed my tears
You didn't reach for me
Is this all we'd ever be?

You lied to me
Didn't matter
Felt I'm still a stranger
When I met you
You were eager
To know me, talk to me
Slowly you slipped away
Hey
It's a love out of time

Bridge:
For the record
Now that it's broken
I want you know who I am
For the record
If I never knew you,
I would live my whole life through
And for the record
To love me was all I asked of you

Outro:
Slowly you slipped away
Slowly, slowly...
I can't make you stay...
