If you could read my mind love   What a tale my thoughts would tell   Just like an old time movie   'Bout 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      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, yeah         If you could read your mind love   What a tale my thoughts would tell   Just like a paperback novel   The kind that drugstores sell   When you reach the part where the heartache comes   The hero would be you   Heroes often fail      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      If you could   If you could   If you could read my mind (repeat)      If you could read my mind love   What a tale my thoughts would tell   Just like an old time movie   'Bout a ghost from a wishing well      If you could read my mind love   What a tale my thoughts would tell   Just like a paperback novel   The kind that drugstores sell      And when you reach the part where the heartache comes   The hero would be you   Heroes often fail      And when you reach the part where the heartache comes   The hero would be you   Heroes often fail
