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 [A]time made your heart sad and [Bm]blue
And so my [A]heart is paying now for [Dm7]things I did not do
In anger unkind words are said that make the teardrops start
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and [Bm]melt your cold, cold heart?
There was [Am7]a time when I believed that you [A7belonged to [C7]me
But now I know your heart is shackled to [C7]a memory
The more I learn to [C7]care for [Dm7]you, the more we drift apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and [Bm]melt your cold, cold heart?
You'll never know how much it hurts to [C7]see you [A7sit and [Bm]cry
You know you [A7need and [Bm]want my [A]love, yet you're afraid to [C7]tɾy
Why do you [A7ɾun and [Bm]hide from life; to [C7]tɾy it just ain't smart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and [Bm]melt your cold, cold heart?
