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 wishin' 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 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
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 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 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'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
'Bout a ghost from a wishin' well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong

With chains upon my feet
But stories always end
And if you read between the lines

You'll 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 don't get it
I don't know where we went wrong
But the feelin's gone

And I just can't get it back
