If You Could Read My Mind Lyrics - Singles - Kalan Porter

If you could read my mind (by Gordon Lightfoot) 

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 that you can't see 

If I could read your mind love 

What a tale your thoughts could tell 

Just like a paperback novel 

The kind that drugstores sell 

When you reach the part where the heartaches come 

The hero would be me 

But heroes often fail 

And you won't read that book again 

Because the ending's just too 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 feelin's 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 

'bout a ghost from a wishin' well 

In a castle dark or a fortress strong 

With chains upon my feet 

But stories always end 

And if you read between the lines 

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

The feelin's 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 feelin's gone 

And I just can't get it back
