If You Could Read My Mind

If you could read my mind, love,
如果你能读懂我的心，我的爱
What a tale my thoughts could tell.
我的心讲述怎样一个故事
Just like an old time movie,
如同一部老电影
'Bout a ghost from a wishing well.
讲述一个许愿井中的幽灵的故事
In a castle dark or a fortress strong,
在黑暗的城堡或坚固的堡垒
With chains upon my feet.
双脚带着镣铐
You know that ghost is me.
你知道，那个幽灵就是我
And I will never be set free
永不会被释放
As long as I'm a ghost that you can't see.
可是只要我是幽灵你便看不见
If I could read your mind, love,

What a tale your thoughts could tell.
你的心讲述怎样一个故事
Just like a paperback novel,
那是一部平装本小说
The kind the drugstores sell.
就是杂货店卖的那种
When you reached the part where the heartaches come,
当你读到令你心伤之处
The hero would be me.
这个男主角就是我
But heroes often fail,
但是却常常辜负
And you won't read that book again
你再也不会读起那本书
Because the ending's just too hard to take!
因为这结局令人难以承受
I'd walk away like a movie star
我如电影明星一样走开
Who gets burned in a three way script.
谁愿意会在一部三线不入流的剧本上
Enter number two:
第二幕：
A movie queen to play the scene
一位影后在表演中
Of bringing all the good things out in me.
激发了我所有的美好
But for now, love, let's be real;
但现在，我的爱，让我们面对现实
I never thought I could have this way
我从未想过会如此一般
And I've got to say that I just don't get it.
我必须说，我只是不明白
I don't know where we went wrong,
我不知道我们错在哪里
But the feeling's gone
但是此情不再
And I just can't get it back.
再也回不去了
If you could read my mind, love,

But stories always end,
但是故事终有结局
And if you read between the lines,
如果你注意字里行间的意思
You'd know that I'm just tryin' to understand
你会明白我在努力去理解
The feelin's that you lack.
而你却没有
I never thought I could feel this way
我从不曾想过会这样
And I've got to say that I just don't get it.
我只好说我无法懂你
I don't know where we went wrong,
