    It's a terrible feeling to wake up and realize that you've been loving someone who never loved you or cared for you the same way you loved them and it's true you can't make the heart feel something that's not there. you can give your all but if it is not reciprocated dry your eyes, swallow your hurt, and move on because you deserve better. spoken from the heart that you need to protect.

    That’s not really correct-although the reason it wasn’t in one take is even more heartbreaking… producer Don Was said that there were a couple times when Bonnie broke down crying. The song struck such raw emotion in her that Don had to do a few lines over. Note that Hornsby was the piano player on this flawless song, I’m sure most people know that. Greatness all around.

    In 1996 I met this tall gorgeous blue eyed guy at a diner I worked at when I was 16. I fell totally and completely in love with this man. But I worried he didn't love me the way I loved him and i would play this song over and over and cry so hard...but you know 29 years and 2 children later, he is still with me and I have to honestly say...this man loves me so much more now than I loved him then..he does everything for me and our children he is a hard working provider. I can walk up to him and put my hand on his shoulder and he seems to forget everything and anything just to touch me back with chills all over his skin. Every single day when he's gone to work I can almost guarantee you that he calls me at least 5 times or more just to tell me he loves me. he's a construction worker so sometimes he will put me on (Duo) so I can watch him work and so he can see me. He has never been mean to me or violent This man loves me beyond words!!! He was diagnosed with heart disease a year ago....what will i do without him by my side. I trust in my lord and savior Jesus to keep him with me.💔 ❤❤❤ I love you Lenny!

    Thank you!! I actually worked with a guy (his name was Greg Perkins) who was a vocalist/ guitarist/ drummer/ keyboardist/ violinist/ everything-elseist who sang his heart out on this song every weekend at The Fiddle & Steel Guitar Bar on Printers Alley in downtown Nashville before they tore it down. (They’ve since erected hotels there now.) Anyway, that guy rocked. 🤘🏾

    "It doesn't take a lot of strength to hang on. It takes a lot of strength to let go." ~ J.C. Watts When you're still in love but realize your love will never be reciprocated... It is MUCH MORE DIFFICULT to leave/set that person free than it is to feign blissful ignorance & stay put bc the change will be (temporarily) painful. OF. COURSE it's easy to leave when you don't GAF or aren't truly in love. But that is NOT what this song is about. She's in love but is setting him free bc she understands she cannot change his feelings about her. Why KNOWINGLY live a lie? We aren't immortal!

She used alcohol to escape a lot and dealt with a lot of stuff for me and my sister. Randomly yesterday I heard this song for the first time in 25 years and I was balling my eyes out. I felt all of her pain and suffering and had me on my knees. It takes a lot for me to cry but this song hit so close to home and now im calling my mom to tell her about it.

    I witnessed my dad do the same to my mom. But he also sexually abused her after drugging her and her falling asleep. I was 6 when I saw him do that to her. He destroyed her, beat his first wife, and did the same to his own daughters and his sisters. Thank the Lord he is in prison until 2035 now. He can't hurt no more women and children. She doesn't have anything to do with us oldest 2 daughters and none of her 5 biological grandkids. Only the youngest sister that barely remembers much of him. It's hard to say you witnessed your dad destroy your mother and she will never be the women she was before him. Here I am today finally married trying to break the bad family cycles I witnessed or that was done to me growing up. Raising my kids with my husband but have no biological grandparents to healthy be there for them. Sorry you witnessed rough stuff Dylan. I hope you decided to break the cycles to instead of repeating what you witnessed. Hope things get better for you guys.

    To all the tender souls crying as this song plays because your love is not returned... you must realize that none of us can give what we do not have. Some people are not capable of loving. Their inability to love does not make you unlovable, it just means you gave your love to the wrong person. Imagine how God must feel. He created us with a free will to choose Him, and loves us so much. Yet so many of us do not choose Him. The presence of God in your soul is the deepest truest Love you will ever know. That place in your heart longing for love can only truly be filled with God's love. Seek Him. He will never leave you or forsake you. Much love to you.

    I know went through a situation like this just before I met my husband. I want to encourage anyone who is going through this situation to be strong and know that you are special, beautiful, and worthy of love. You don't have to convince or beg anyone to love you. Sometimes it takes us a while to realize this for ourselves, but I can testify that after I became strong enough to let the person go who was not returning the love that I was giving the healing process began. It was rough, many crying nights...I liken it to withdrawal and while I thought I'd be alone for ever (because as we know rejection does a beat down on your self-esteem) I met my husband and he showed me what it was to be loved as you are without trying to work like a slave for it. If I can have it so can anyone else. Peace & Blessing xoxo

    Bonnie's version is the standard, period. It's grown people music, not young love and giddy romance. It's about real life, lived over time. It's about the resignation, the struggle towards acceptance, the love in spite of the loss, it's the void AFTER the anger, the rage, the hurt and betrayal are over. It's about moving on with integrity in spite of the scars. It's the 62-year-old lady finally leaving her once whirlwind/long since bad 40-year marriage after decades of abuse, it's the 53-year-old mom of college aged kids who finds out her husband's been cheating on her with a woman half her age and has spent the past 2 years fighting out and now finalizing her messy divorce with a man she still loves but knows that it's over with. It's about LIVED experience, about the subtleties and contradictions and complexities of ending life-changing, decades long relationships and the quiet aftermath once the dust has started to settle. Bonnie doesn't try to oversing, overemote, over share. Her character knows what she's been through and has nothing to prove to anyone. She's just saying goodbye, with love and affection for what once was and is proudly moving forward with the rest of her life, scarred and weary but with gentle hope in what might still be ahead for her. She's saying in spite of the pain, life still moves on, so one should do it with dignity and grace.

Shortly afterwards my world burned to the ground. The papers were signed, and I physically moved 1,000 miles away. One of the worst things to happen to me, yet one of the best. There is no kind of lonely, that I have experienced in my 61 years, that is as lonely as lying next to someone who doesn’t love you back.

    In a way, this a brave statement of acceptance. Time to move on, no delusions. There is strength in the pain.

    Turn down the lights Turn down the bed Turn down these voices inside my head Lay down with me Tell me no lies Just hold me close, don't patronize Don't patronize me 'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't You can't make your heart feel something it won't Here in the dark, in these final hours I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power But you won't, no you won't 'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't I'll close my eyes, then I won't see The love you don't feel when you're holding me Morning will come and I'll do what's right Just give me till then to give up this fight And I will give up this fight 'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't You can't make your heart feel something it won't Here in the dark, in these final hours I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power But you won't, no you won't 'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't

    This song reminds me of my wife. It was her favorite song before she lost the battling to cancer, I wish I could change the hands of time, she was always there for me and our lovely daughter, and I never missed a moment with her, life could be so unfair most times, there is some pain I will cry in vain but won’t let you know how I will feel yes but some times I wonder why bad thing always happen to good people..,
