I Can Make You Love Me Lyrics

And if you're reading this then that means that I am dead
What was the last thing that you told me?
The night is over but I still have a place to go
No one else but I will be there

Walking by myself with a funeral in my head
Hope you're happy what you're doing
You know how they say that you can't help but love the dead?
That is exactly where I'm heading

And I can make you love me
And I can make you love me

You want to fight, fight, fight, fight fire with fire
You're going to burn down
You're going to fall in love with my world of lies
You're going to hate the way you left me behind

And I can make you love me
And I can make you love me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

They mentioned in an interview this song was inspired by an argument they saw a couple have at a party.

The meaning that I get from it is a guy committing suicide with the intent of devastating his partner - but I get the impression that I'm missing a piece as it seems too obvious.

Maybe it has a double meaning. Should it really be 'I can't make you love me?' As no one can make anyone really love them.

I think his partner has pushed him to think dark things and he doesn’t want to go as to the meaning “I can make you love me” as opposed to I “can’t” but he wants it to work this fictional character or from personal experience but she’s making it hard which makes an obviously depressed person have the dark thoughts that he thinks but will not follow through as he is still trying to make this relationship of whatever kind it may be
