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
