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 wishin´ 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, you can see

If I could read your mind love
What a tale your thoughts could tell
Just like a paperback novel
The kind the drugstore sells
When you reach the part where the heartaches
Come the hero would be me

Heroes often fail
And you won´t read that book again
Because the endings just to hard to take

I´d 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
And I´ve got to say that I just don´t get it
I don´t know where we went wrong
But the feelings gone and I just can´t get it back

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 the story always ends

If you read between the lines
You´ll know that I´m just trying to understand
The feelings that you lack

I never knew 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 feelings gone and I just can´t get it back
