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 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 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 of drugstore sells
 When you reach the part
 Where the heartaches come
 The hero would be me
 Heroes often fail
 You won't read that book again
 Because the ending's just to 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 of bringing
 All the good things out in me
 But for now, love, let's be real
 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 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
 About a ghost from a wishing well
 In a castle dark
 Or a fortress strong
 With chains upon my feet
 Stories always ends
 And if you read between the lines
 You'll know that I'm just trying to understand
 Feelings that you lack
 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 can't get it back
