If you could
read my mind, love
what a tale my thoughts could tell?
Just like an old time movie
'bout a ghost from a wishing well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
with chains upon my feet
You know that ghost is me
And I will never be set free
as long as I'm a ghost that you can't see
If I could read
your mind, love
what a tale your thoughts could tell?
Just like a paperback novel,
the kind that drugstores sell
When you reach the part
where the heartaches come
the hero would be me
The hero often fails
You won't read that book again
because the ending's just too hard to take
I'll walk away like
a movie star
who gets burned in a three way script
Enter number two
A movie queen to play the scene
are bringin' all the good things out in me
But for now, love, let's be real
I never thought I could act this way
and I've got to say, 'I just don't get it'
I don't know where we went wrong
But the feeling's gone and I just can't get it back
If you could
read my mind, love
what a tale my thoughts could tell?
Just like an old time movie
'bout a ghost from a wishing well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
with chains upon my feet
The story always ends
If you could read between the lines
you'll know that I'm just trying to understand
the feelings that you lack
I never thought I could feel this way
and I've got to say that I just don't get it
I don't know where we went wrong
But the feeling's gone and I just can't get it back
