Cold
Hi-Lo Jack Lyrics

I tried so hard, my dear, to show that you're my every dream
I made every effort to show that you mean everything to me

Yet you're afraid each thing I do is just some evil scheme
Despite my efforts, you're suspicious of me, doubting my motives

A memory from your lonesome past keeps us so far apart
A painful memory from your past prevents us from being close

Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold, cold heart?
I want to break through your doubts and warm up your distant heart

Another love before my time made your heart sad and blue
You were hurt by a previous love, before I came into your life

And so my heart is paying now for things I didn't do
I'm being punished for the mistakes of someone else

In anger unkind words are said that make the teardrops start
Our arguments and fights cause you to cry and feel hurt

You'll never know how much it hurts to see you sit and cry
It pains me to see you sad and crying

You know you need and want my love yet you're afraid to try
You crave my love, but you're scared to take a chance on us

Why do you run and hide from life? To try it just ain't smart
You're avoiding love and life, but that's not the smart thing to do

There was a time when I believed that you belonged to me
I used to believe that we were meant to be together

But now I know your heart is shackled to a memory
But now I understand that your heart is still chained to a past memory

The more I learn to care for you, the more we drift apart
As our relationship progresses, we seem to be growing further apart

Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold, cold heart?
I don't understand why I can't break through your doubts and warm up your distant heart
