If You Could Read My Mind

If you could read my mind, love
如是你能看到我的想法，親愛的
What a tale my thoughts could tell
我的腦海會給你講一個怎樣的故事
Just like an old-time movie
就像一部古老的電影
'Bout a ghost from a wishin' well
講述一個出自許願井的幽魂
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
在黑暗城堡或是堅固的堡壘之中
With chains upon my feet
鐵鍊拷著我的雙腳
You know that ghost is me
你知道那個幽魂便是我
And I will never be set free
而我則將永遠被囚禁
As long as I'm a ghost that you can't see
唯有你的注視才能將我釋放

若是我能讀出你的想法，親愛的
If I could read your mind, love
你的心會給我講一個怎樣的故事
What a tale your thoughts could tell
像是一本
Just like a paperback novel
藥店賣的平裝小說
The kind the drugstores sell
當你讀到讓人心碎的時刻
When you reach the part where the heartaches come
那個英雄便是我
The hero would be me
自古英雄氣短
But heroes often fail
而你再不會重讀這本書
And you won't read that book again
只因結尾太讓人難以接受
Because the ending's just too hard to take
我會不回頭的走開

像個在三條故事線的劇本中受傷的影星
I'd walk away like a movie star
加入第二個人
Who gets burned in a three-way script
讓一個影后來演繹
Enter number two
將我所有好的品質得以呈現
A movie queen to play the scene
但現在，親愛的，認真點
Of bringing all the good things out in me
我從沒想過我會有這樣的反應
But for now love, let's be real
而我不得不說我實在不懂
I never thought I could act this way
不知道我們到底做錯了哪點
And I've got to say that I just don't get it
但靈感流逝便難再追回
I don't know where we went wrong
如是你能讀我的心，親愛的
But the feeling's gone and I just can't get it back
我的腦海會給你講一個怎樣的故事

就像一部古老的電影
If you could read my mind, love
講述一個出自許願井的幽魂
What a tale my thoughts could tell
在黑暗城堡或是堅固的堡壘之中
Just like an old-time movie
鐵鍊拷著我的雙腳
'Bout a ghost from a wishin' well
但故事總有結局
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
若是你讀懂字句之間的意思
With chains upon my feet
你會知道我正試圖理解
But stories always end
你所缺失的那種感觸
And if you read between the lines
我從沒想過我會有這樣的反應
You'll know that I'm just tryin' to understand
而我不得不說我實在不懂
The feelings that you lack
不知道我們到底做錯了哪點
I never thought I could feel this way
但愛意已逝難再追回
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
