If you could read my mind 歌词

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
