Make Me Lovely Lyrics

I can't make you love me
You can't make me lovely
Please don't try to hold me down
It's over now
I will go where you can't find me

I don't think I can trust you
I don't know what I'm supposed to do
We got lost when we went too far
Give back my soul and take my heart

I can't make you love me
You can't make me lovely
Please don't try to hold me down
It's over now
I will go where you can't find me

Don't want the world
Lose my soul
Don't want the world
Lose my soul

I can't make you love me
You can't make me lovely
Please don't try to hold me down
It's over now
I will go where you can't find me

I don't need love to rescue me
I'll be all that I choose to be
When the sky fills with falling stars

I can't make you love me
You can't make me lovely
Please don't try to hold me down
It's over now
I will go where you can't find me

Don't want the world
Lose my soul
Don't want the world
Lose my soul

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.
