I can't make you love me (cheesy)

I can't make you love me.
I understand that, there's a limit.
My heart feels full and I'm working to
understand what's in it.
You've got passion, that's for sure,
reserves you kept up on the shelf.
And I stay up for three days straight, I know
it's all for someone else.
I used to want to be together,
Now I want to believe in something better.
Now I want to advance myself and try to lead,
but that takes effort.
You do too, that's part of the reason we couldn't work out.
It's more about forgetting and trying
to get to work now.
It's more about waiting in my car
for fifteen minutes because I hate
my days, and working to forget the
lines and features that formed your face.
It's been a few years since we talked and I think
you're better for it. You look happy
in those pictures, I dumped all the ones
I had up in my wallet.
I miss you, it's cliche, yeah
sad songs and champagne.
Yeah, girls' night, you go away
sleepover with the human race.
I'm stuck thinking I might have
dealt with it all in a more reasoned day.
But shut up, it's over now, take the rest you earned.
I can't make you love me, I know that
it's the best thing I could have learned.
