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'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 |
|
The hero often fails |
|
And you won't read that book again |
|
Because the ending's just too hard to take |
|
I'll walk away like a movie star |
|
Who gets burned in a three-way script |
|
Enter number two |
|
A movie queen to play the scene |
|
Are bringing all the good things out in me |
|
But for now love, let's be real |
|
I never thought I could act this way |
|
And I've got to say, 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 |
