Lyrics
I tried so hard, my dear, to show
That you're in 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?
Well, another love before my time
Made your heart sad and blue
And so my heart is paying dear
For things I did not do
In anger, unkind words are said
That'll make the teardrops start
Why can't I free your doubtful mind, yeah
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
Lord, 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?
Yes, melt your chilly heart
Writer(s): David Newton, Marcus Christian Williams
