[Verse 1] 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 wishing 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 that you cant see [Verse 2] If I could read your mind love What a tale your thoughts could tell Just like a paperback novel The kind the drugstores sell When you reach the part where the heartaches come The hero would be me But heroes often fail And you wont read that book again Because the endings just too hard to take [Verse 3] Id walk away like a movie star Who gets burned in a threeway 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 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 [Verse 4] 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 wishing 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 Youll find that Im just trying to understand The feelings that you lack I never thought 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
