Cold, Cold Heart

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 mem'ry from your lonesome past keeps us so far apart
Why can't I free your debtful 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 debtful 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 debtful 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 debtful mind and melt your cold
cold heart
