Lyrics
[verse]
If you could see the pages in my head
Every chapter written, every word unsaid
You'd find a story tangled up in gray
Of a love that slowly drifted away
[chorus]
If you could read my mind, love
You'd know the ending's hard to find
The hero's lost his way back home
And the heroine walks alone
[verse]
There's a train that leaves at midnight from this town
Carrying the pieces of a paper crown
I used to write us happy, used to write us free
Now the pages fall like autumn from the tree
[chorus]
If you could read my mind, love
You'd know the ending's hard to find
The hero's lost his way back home
And the heroine walks alone
[bridge]
Like a movie played in some old empty hall
I keep watching shadows dancing on the wall
I don't know how our story's gonna end
But I still call you more than just a friend
[chorus]
If you could read my mind, love
You'd know the ending's hard to find
The hero's lost his way back home
And the heroine walks alone
