love you into loving me

You let go when you feel hollow
And I hold tighter when I'm scared
You could find home in a person
But you won't let me take you there
I can show you silver linings
I can give you all you need
I can be your crying shoulder
But I can't love you into loving me
No, I can't love you into loving me
We can blame it on the timing
Or your fear of being known
Laying quiet side by side, not saying anything
The silence says the things that you don't
I can show you silver linings
I can give you all you need
I can be your crying shoulder
But I can't love you into loving me
I can want you desperately
I can miss you endlessly
I can need you more than water, oh
But I can't love you into loving me
No, I can't love you into loving me
I can't love you into loving me
