Andy Kandanes - If You Could Read My Mind lyrics

If you could read my mind, love What a tale my thoughts would tell Just like an old time movie 'bout 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 that you can't see If I could read your mind, love What a tale your thoughts would tell Just like a paper-back novel The kind the drug store sells When you reach the part Where the heartaches come The hero would be me Heroes often fail You won't read that book again Because the ending's just too hard to take I 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 I've got to say that 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 If you could read my mind love What a tale my thoughts would tell Just like an old time movie 'bout a ghost from a wishin' well In a castle dark Or a fortress strong with chains upon my feet Stories have to end And if you read between the lines You'll know that I'm just trying to understand The feelings that you lack I never thought I could act this way 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 Never thought I could act this way (Oooh) I've got to say that I just don't get it (Oooh) I don't know where we went wrong (Oooh) But the feelings gone and I just can't get it back (Oooh) Ending (Piano and Acoustic Guitar)
