|
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 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 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 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, 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?
