If you could read my mind, love What a tale my thoughts could tell Just like an all-time movie 'Bout a ghost from a wishing well In a castle dark, oh 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 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 hidings come The hero would be me Heros often fail And you won't read that book again Because the ending's just too hard to take ♪ I walk away like a movie star Who gets burned in a three-way script Enter number two A movie queen to play the scene Bringing all the good things out in me But for now, love, let's be real I never knew I'd feel this way And I gotta say that I just don't get it I don't know where we went wrong, but the feeling'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 all-time movie 'Bout a ghost from a wishing well In a castle dark, oh a fortress strong With chains upon my feet The story always ends And if you read between the lines You'd know that I'm just trying to understand The feeling that you left I never knew I could feel this way And I gotta say, that I just don't get it I don't know where we went wrong, but the feeling's gone And I just can't get it back
