I tried so hard, my dear, to show
that you're my every dream.
Yet you're afraid each thing I do
is just some evil scheme.
A memory from your lonesome past
keeps us so far apart.
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
and melt your cold, cold heart?
Another love before my time
made your heart sad and blue.
And now my heart is paying for
the things I didn't do.
In anger, unkind words are said
that make the teardrops start.
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
and melt your cold, cold heart?
You'll never know how much it hurts
to see you sit and cry.
You know you need and want my love
and yet you're afraid to try.
Why do you rund hide and run from life
to try just ain't smart.
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
and melt your cold, cold heart?
There was a time when I believed
that you belong to me.
But now I know your heart
is shackled to a memory.
The more I learn to care for you,
the more we drift apart.
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
and melt your cold, cold heart?
