Lyrics of if you would read my mind by Xu Guanjie

If You Could Read My Mind

If you could read my mind love,

What a tale my thoughts could 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 you cant see.

If I could read your mind love,

What a tale your thoughts could tell

Just like a paperback novel,

The kind the drugstore sell

When you reach the part

Where the heartaches come

The hero would be me,

Heroes often fail

And you won't need that book again,

Because the endings just too hard to take.

I'd walk away like a movie star

Who gets burned in a freeway script,

Enter number two

A movie queen to play the scene,

Of bringing all the good things out in me

But for now love lets be real,

I never thought I could act this way

And Ive got to say that I just dont get it

I don't know where we went wrong

But the feelins gone and I just cant get it back.

If you could read my mind love,

What a tale my thoughts could 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,

The story always ends

And if you read between the lines

You'll know that I'm just tryin to understand

The feelings that you lack

I never thought 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 feelins gone and I just cant get it back
