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 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 Im 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 the drugstore sells
When you reach the part where the heartaches
Come the hero would be me
Heroes often fail
And you wont read that book again
Because the endings just to hard to take
Id 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 lets be real
I never thought I could act this way
And Ive got to say that I just dont get it
I dont know where we went wrong
But the feelings gone and I just cant 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 the story always ends
If you read between the lines
Youll know that Im just trying to understand
The feelings that you lack
I never knew I could feel this way
And Ive got to say that I just dont get it
I dont know where we went wrong
But the feelings gone and I just cant get it back
