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
You know that ghost is me
And I will never be set free
As long as I am 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,
Because the endings are just
I'd walk away like a movie star who gets
burned in a three -way street
Enter number two, the movie queen to play the
scene of bringing all the good things out in me
But for now, let's be real 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 feeling's gone and
If you could read my mind, love,
what a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie,
but a ghost from wishing well
In a castle dark, or a fortress strong,
And if you read between the lines
You'll know that I'm just
The feelings that you lack
I never thought I could feel this way
I don't know where we went wrong
And I just can't get it back
