If You Could Read My Mind

In a castle dark or a fortress strong
You know that ghost is me
The hero would be me but heroes often fail
Where the heartaches come
And if you read between the lines
I never thought I could feel this way
But the feeling�s gone and I just can�t get it back
The feelin�s that you lack
I don�t know where we went wrong
When you reach the part
What a tale your thoughts could tell
And I�ve got to say that I just don�t get it

Stories always end
If I could read your mind, love
I never thought I could feel this way
And you won�t read that book again
You�ll know that I�m just tryin� to understand
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
Who gets burned in a three way script

If you could read my mind, love
�Bout a ghost from a wishin� well
What a tale my thoughts could tell
As long as I�m a ghost that you can�t see
Just like an old time movie

The kind that drugstores sell

�Bout a ghost from a wishin� well
And I will never be set free
Of bringing all the good things out in me

Just like an old time movie
I don�t know where we went wrong
With chains upon my feet
With chains upon my feet

I�d walk away like a movie star
But for now love, let�s be real
Enter number two, a movie queen to play the scene
Because the ending�s just too hard to take
Just like a paperback novel
And I�ve got to say that I just don�t get it
