Lyrics

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 you free your doubtful mind, and melt your cold cold heart  
  
Another love before my time made your heart sad and blue  
And so my heart is paying now for things I didn't do  
In anger unkind words are said that make the teardrops start  
Why can't you 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 yet you're afraid to try  
Why do you run and hide from lies, to try it 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 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?
