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 cast the 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 drug stores sell
|
When you reached the part where the heartaches start
|
The hero would be me but heroes often fail
|
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 No 2
|
A movie queen kkep to play the scene of bringin' all the good things out of me
|
But for now love let's be real
|
I never thought I could act 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 what a tale my thoughts could tell
|
Just like an old time movie bout a ghost from a wishing well
|
In a cast the dark or a fortress strong with chains upon my feet
|
But stories always end
|
And If you read between the lines you'd know that I'm just trying to understand
|
The feelin's that you lack
|
I'd 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
