Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If you could read my mind, love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
About 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 am a ghost you can't see
[Verse 2]
If I could read your mind, love
What a tale your thoughts could tell
Just like a paperback novel
The kind the drug store sell
When you reach the part
The heart ache come
The hero would be me
But heroes often fail
And you won't read that book again
Because the ending is just too hard to take
[Verse 3]
I 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 act this way
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
[Verse 4]
If you could read my mind, love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
About a ghost from a wishing well
In a castle dark
Or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
But stories always end
[Verse 5]
And if you read between the lines
You'll know that I'm just trying to understand
Feelings that you lack
I never thought I could feel this way
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
