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 cast the dark of a fortress strong   With chains upon my feet   You know that ghost is me and I won't ever 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 paper back novel the kind   The drug stores sell      Then you reached 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 2   A movie queen to play the scene   Of bringin' all the good things out in me      But for now love 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 feelin' is gone and I just can't get it back      If you could read my mind love      But stories always end and   If you read between the lines   You'd 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 can't get it back
