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 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 drugstore sells When you reach the part where the heartaches come The hero won't be beat 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 feeling's gone and I just bring get it back If you could read my mind, love What a tale my thoughts could tell Just like and old time movie About a ghost from a wishing well In a castle dark or a fortress strong with chains upon my feet But stories always end, if you could read between the lines You'd know that I'm just tryin' to understand the feelings 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 feelings gone And I just can't get it back
