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 cast the dark of a fortress strong |
|
With chains upon my feet |
|
You know that ghost is me and I won't ever 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 paper back novel the kind |
|
The drug stores sell |
|
Then you reached the part where the heartaches come |
|
The hero would be me but heroes often fail |
|
And you won't read that book again |
|
Because the ending's just too hard to take |
|
I'd walk away like a movie star |
|
Who gets burned in a three way script enter number 2 |
|
A movie queen to play the scene |
|
Of bringin' all the good things out in me |
|
But for now love let's be real |
|
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 feelin' is gone and I just can't get it back |
|
If you could read my mind love |
|
But stories always end and |
|
If you read between the lines |
|
You'd know that I'm just tryin' |
|
To understand the feelin's that you lack |
|
I never thought I could feel this way |
|
And I've got to say that I just can't get it back |
