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 cast the dark of a fortress strong with chains upon my feet you know that ghost is me and i won t ever 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 the drug stores sell then you reached 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 no 2 a movie queen to play the scene of bringin 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 is gone and i just can t get it back if you could read my mind love but stories always end and if you read between the lines you d 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 can t get it back
