Paroles de 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 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 an' 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?

< instrumental break >

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?
