If You Could Read My Mind

If you could read my mind, love
如是你能看到我的想法，亲爱的
What a tale my thoughts could tell
我的脑海会给你讲一个怎样的故事
Just like an old-time movie
就像一部古老的电影
'Bout a ghost from a wishin' well
讲述一个出自许愿井的幽魂
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
在黑暗城堡或是坚固的堡垒之中
With chains upon my feet
铁链拷着我的双脚
You know that ghost is me
你知道那个幽魂便是我
And I will never be set free
而我则将永远被囚禁
As long as I'm a ghost that you can't see
唯有你的注视才能将我释放

若是我能读出你的想法，亲爱的
If I could read your mind, love
你的心会给我讲一个怎样的故事
What a tale your thoughts could tell
像是一本
Just like a paperback novel
药店卖的平装小说
The kind the drugstores sell
当你读到让人心碎的时刻
When you reach the part where the heartaches come
那个英雄便是我
The hero would be me
自古英雄气短
But heroes often fail
而你再不会重读这本书
And you won't read that book again
只因结尾太让人难以接受
Because the ending's just too hard to take
我会不回头的走开

像个在三条故事线的剧本中受伤的影星
I'd walk away like a movie star
加入第二个人
Who gets burned in a three-way script
让一个影后来演绎
Enter number two
将我所有好的品质得以呈现
A movie queen to play the scene
但现在，亲爱的，认真点
Of bringing all the good things out in me
我从没想过我会有这样的反应
But for now love, let's be real
而我不得不说我实在不懂
I never thought I could act this way
不知道我们到底做错了哪点
And I've got to say that I just don't get it
但灵感流逝便难再追回
I don't know where we went wrong
如是你能读我的心，亲爱的
But the feeling's gone and I just can't get it back
我的脑海会给你讲一个怎样的故事

就像一部古老的电影
If you could read my mind, love
讲述一个出自许愿井的幽魂
What a tale my thoughts could tell
在黑暗城堡或是坚固的堡垒之中
Just like an old-time movie
铁链拷着我的双脚
'Bout a ghost from a wishin' well
但故事总有结局
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
若是你读懂字句之间的意思
With chains upon my feet
你会知道我正试图理解
But stories always end
你所缺失的那种感触
And if you read between the lines
我从没想过我会有这样的反应
You'll know that I'm just tryin' to understand
而我不得不说我实在不懂
The feelings that you lack
不知道我们到底做错了哪点
I never thought I could feel this way
但爱意已逝难再追回
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
