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
