I always thought "movie star who gets burned in a three-way script" was a great line. "Enter No. 2" is a strong follow.<<<
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 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.
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 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 feeling's gone
And I just can't get it back
