If you could read my mind love
What a tale my thoughts would tell
Just like an old time mov-ie
'Bout a ghost from a wish-ing well
In a cas-tle dark or a for-tress strong
With chains up-on my feet
You know that ghost is me
And I will nev-er be set free,
As long as I'm a ghost that you can't see
I'd walk a-way, like a mov-ie star
Who gets burned in a three-way script
En-ter num-ber two: a mov-ie queen
To play the scene of bring-ing all
The good things out of me
But for now love, let's be real
I nev-er 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 feel-ing's gone
and I just can't get it back
If you could read my mind love
What a tale my thoughts would tell
Just like an old time mov-ie
'Bout a ghost from a wish-ing well
In a cas-tle dark or a for-tress strong
With chains up-on my feet
But stor-ies al-ways end
And if you read be-tween the lines
You'd know that I'm just try'n
To un-der-stand
The feel-ings that you lack.
I nev-er 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 feel-ings gone,
And I just can't get it back
