Cold, Cold Heart Lyrics - Sleepless Nights - Patty Loveless

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 

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? 

Why can't I free your doubtful mind 

And melt your cold, cold heart?
