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


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?
