Lucinda Williams - Cold, Cold Heart lyrics

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 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 doubtful
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 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 can't I free your doubtful
Mind and melt your cold, cold heart
