Cold Cold Heart
Unlocking the Chains of Doubt: George Jones' Cold Cold Heart
Lyrics
I tried so hard, my dear, to show
I put in a lot of effort, my beloved, to demonstrate
That you're my every dream
That you are the embodiment of all my aspirations
Yet you're afraid each thing I do
However, you're apprehensive that every action of mine
Is just some evil scheme
Is merely a deceitful plan
A memory from your lonesome past
A reminiscence from your sorrowful past
Keeps us so far apart
Keeps us distanced emotionally
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
Why am I unable to dispel your uncertainties
And melt your cold, cold heart?
And soften your unfeeling, unresponsive heart?
Another love before my time
Someone else you loved before my arrival
Made your heart sad and blue
Brought sadness and melancholy to your heart
And so my heart is paying now
Now my heart suffers consequences
For things I didn't do
For actions I never committed
In anger, unkind words are said
During moments of rage, hurtful words are spoken
That make the teardrops start
Provoking the onset of tears
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
Why can't I dispel your uncertainties
And melt your cold, cold heart?
And soften your unfeeling, unresponsive heart?
You'll never know how much it hurts
You'll never comprehend the depth of my pain
To see you sit and cry
To witness you sitting and weeping
You know, you need and want my love
You recognize you require and desire my love
Yet you're afraid to try
Yet you're hesitant to make an attempt
Why do you run and hide from life?
Why do you evade life's experiences?
To try it just ain't smart
Attempting it isn't a wise decision
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
Why can't I dispel your uncertainties
And melt your cold, cold heart?
And soften your unfeeling, unresponsive heart?
There was a time when I believed
There was a period when I was convinced
That you belonged to me
That you were exclusively mine
But now I know your heart is shackled
But now I realize your heart is confined
To a memory
To a past memory
The more I learn to care for you
The more I develop affection for you
The more we drift apart
The more we drift away from each other
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
Why can't I dispel your uncertainties
And melt your cold, cold heart?
And soften your unfeeling, unresponsive heart?
