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
 About 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, you can see
 If I could read your mind love
 What a tale your thoughts could tell
 Just like a paperback novel
 The kind the drugstore sells
 When you reach the part where the heartaches
 Come the hero would be me
 Heroes often fail
 And you won't read that book again
 Because the endings just to 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 feelings gone and I just can't get it back

 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 the story always ends
 If you read between the lines
 You'll know that I'm just trying to understand
 The feeling that you left
 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
