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?
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?
You'll never know how much it hurts
To sit and watch you 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
