Lyric 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
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 act 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
