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?

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?

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?

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?
