I tried so hard, my dear,
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, heart?
Another love before my time
made your heart sad and blue
And so my heart is pained now
for 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,
heart?
You'll never know how much it hurts
To see you sit and cry
You know you need and want my love
Yet you're afraid to try
Why do you run and hide from life
To try, it just ain't smart
Why can't I free
your doubtful mind
And melt your cold, heart?
There was a time when I believed
That you belonged 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?
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
and melt your cold,
cold heart?
You
