If You Could Read My Mind
Love, if you could read my mind
You could sway your heart to understand
A prince charming, I'm not that kind
But I won't just leave you behind
In the eye of storm where you got stuck
I'll pull you out, the best that I can
I'll try to gamble with my luck
If you'll just swear to watch my back
But words could be empty, just said
They are like sweet talks in the wind
In all the games that we have played
I am just glad that you stayed
I'm just a song with sad refrain
A prisoner with tainted name
Trying to break free from my chain
So I could dodge the piercing rain
If you just tried to comprehend
The feelings of an aching man
Then maybe we could simply bend
There is no need for this to end
I used to think that you're the one
But now I don't know what went wrong
I wish to patch the wrongs we've done
But flames died out and feeling's gone
