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 wishin' 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 |
|
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 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 |
|
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'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 wishin' well |
|
In a castle dark or a fortress strong |
|
With chains upon my feet |
|
But stories always end |
|
And if you read between the lines |
|
You'll 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 don't get it |
|
I don't know where we went wrong |
|
But the feelin's gone |
|
And I just can't get it back |
