In a castle dark or a fortress strong
The hero would be me but heroes often fail
And I've got to say that I just don't get it
And I've got to say that I just don't get it
I don't know where we went wrong
I never thought I could act this way
If you could read my mind, love, what a tale my thoughts could tell
Bringing all the good things out in me but for now, love, let's be real
I don't know where we went wrong
Just like a paperback novel, the kind the drugstore sells
I walk away like a movie star who gets burned in a three way street
I never thought I could feel this way
As long as I'm a ghost you can't see
Because the ending's just too hard to take
If I could read your mind, love, what a tale your thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie 'bout a ghost from a wishing well
When you reach the part where the heartaches come
In a castle dark or a fortress strong with chains around my feet
With chains around my feet, the story always ends
Enter number two, a movie queen to play the scene
But the feeling's gone and we just can't get it back
You won't read that book again
You know that ghost is me and I won't ever be set free
