I tried so hard, my dear To show that youre my every dream Yet youre afraid each thing I do Is just some evil scheme A memory from your lonesome past Keeps us so far apart Why cant I free your doubtful mind And melt your cold, cold heart? Another love before my time Made your heart sad and blue So my heart is paying now For things I didnt do In anger, unkind words are said That make the teardrops start Why cant I free your doubtful mind And melt your cold, cold heart? [Pedal steel guitar bridge] Youll never know how much it hurts To see you sit and cry You know you need and want my love Yet youre afraid to try Why do you run and hide from life To try it just aint smart Why cant 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 cant I free your doubtful mind And melt your cold, cold heart?
