If you could read my mind, love, what a tale my thoughts could 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
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 drugstores sell
When you reach the part where the heartaches come
The hero will be me
But heros often fail
And you wont read that book again because the endings just too hard to take
I walk away like a movie star who gets burned in through a 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 got to say that I just don't get it
I don't know where we wen't wrong but the feelings 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 'bout a ghost from a wishing well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong with chains upon my feet
The story always ends
And If you read between the lines you'll know that I'm just trying to understand
The feeling that you left
I never thought that I could feel this way and I've got to say that I just dont get it
I don't know where we wen't wrong but the feelings gone and I just can't get it back
