The emptiness my hands do touch
When I long to hold you close
Without the words that mean so much
Down a path I did not choose
With willingness I speak these lies
To make you go away
It breaks my heart with endless cries
Cause I want you to stay
Why can't I make you feel
How much I love you
Why can't I make you feel
How much I care
Why can't i go on without you
Why can't i be there
My hopelessness keeps us apart
With all this pain of mine
It's just a veil that clouds my heart
To force it not to shine
Why can't I make you feel
How much I love you
Why can't I make you feel
How much I care
Why can't I make you feel
How much I love you
Why can't I make you feel
How much I care
The loneliness devours my soul
Dying, drowning in its tears
My life and lies out of control
After all these years
Why can't I make you feel
How much I love you
Why can't I make you feel
How much I care
Why can't I make you feel
How much I love you
Why can't I make you feel
How much I care
Why can't i go on without you
Why can't i be there
Why can't I make you feel
How much I love you
