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 patronise
Don't patronise me

'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel somethin' that it won't
And here in the dark, these final hours
I will lay down my heart, I will feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me when you don't
When you don't, yeah

I close my eyes
'Cause then I don't see
The love you don't feel when you're home with me
Morning will come
And I'll do what's right
Just give me 'til 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 somethin' that it won't
And here in the dark, these final hours
I will lay down my heart, I will feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me when you don't
When you don't, you
When you don't, yeah

Adele

In this digital and single-driven age, it’s very difficult for artists to sell albums. Yet, this British singer-songwriter has managed to sell over 50 million units on the back of her two latest albums alone.

Known for her strong, unique vocal talents who also possesses a very down-to-earth persona, Adele Adkins, born on May 5, 1988, made her studio debut in 2008 with 19, which netted the artist two Grammy awards and earned her significant acclaim in the UK.

In early 2011, Adele released her sophomore album, 21, written in the aftermath of a tumultuous relationship and nasty break-up. The album has sold 35 million copies worldwide and is the 21st album of all time to be certified Diamond in the U.S. (10 million copies sold), a milestone achieved in less than two years after its release. At the 2012 Grammys, Adele took home six trophies including Song, Record, and Album of the Year, making her only the second artist in Grammys history to win all four General Field categories. To this day, 21 is the most successful album on the Billboard 200 ever.
