If You Could Read My Mind Lyrics

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
