If You Could Read My Mind
If you could read my mind, love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
About 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, you can see
If I could read your mind, love
What a tale your thoughts could tell
Just like a paperback novel
The kind of drugstore sells
When you reach the part
Where the heartaches come
The hero would be me
Heroes often fail
You won't read that book again
Because the ending's just to hard to take
I walk away
Like a movie star
Who gets burned in a three way script
Enter number two
A movie queen to play the scene of bringing
All the good things out in me
But for now, love, let's be real
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
If you could read my mind, love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
About a ghost from a wishing well
In a castle dark
Or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
Stories always ends
And if you read between the lines
You'll know that I'm just trying to understand
Feelings that you lack
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
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
About 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, you can see
If I could read your mind, love
What a tale your thoughts could tell
Just like a paperback novel
The kind of drugstore sells
When you reach the part
Where the heartaches come
The hero would be me
Heroes often fail
You won't read that book again
Because the ending's just to hard to take
I walk away
Like a movie star
Who gets burned in a three way script
Enter number two
A movie queen to play the scene of bringing
All the good things out in me
But for now, love, let's be real
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
If you could read my mind, love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
About a ghost from a wishing well
In a castle dark
Or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
Stories always ends
And if you read between the lines
You'll know that I'm just trying to understand
Feelings that you lack
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
