I Can't Make You Love Me
U.Penn Counterparts Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

看你睡在我的胸口
为什么这一刻让我好感动
我想我孤独了很久
一碰到幸福就惶恐
当我快要放弃我
是你让我发现我存在的理由
怎么爱你都不够
怎么爱都没尽头

我在你的生命中执着
直到我一无所有
还牵着你的手
怎么爱你都不够
怎么爱都没尽头
你在我的世界里温柔
什么话都不用说
其实你全都懂
我怎么爱你都不够
听你的呼吸告诉我
没有人像你爱我一样独特
我不去想从今以后
因为怎么爱都不够
当我快要放弃我
是你让我发现我存在的理由
怎么爱你都不够
怎么爱都没尽头
我在你的生命中执着
直到我一无所有
还牵着你的手
怎么爱你都不够
想要给你的还是太多
把我的一切掏空
怎么爱你都不够
怎么爱都没尽头
我在你的生命中执着
直到我一无所有
还牵着你的手
怎么爱你都不够
想要给你的还是太多
把我的一切掏空
交换你最美的笑容

永远都不会放手
怎么爱你都不够
