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 makes 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?
