I WANT TO READ YOUR MIND

tell me that i didn’t go through hell and back for this
whisper into my deaf ear and make read your lips
kiss me on the mouth and then crawl up inside my head
< love me like a lover and then treat me like a friend

please just do what i want you to
please just say what i need to hear
oh i just want another chance
and i can’t wait another year

and when your words come out your mouth
what gets left behind
i want to know what i live without
i want to read your mind

give me what i wanted and then turn and watch me go
call me in the morning and feed into my ego
take me to the city that i visit in my sleep
tell me that i’m everything i really want to be

you are everything i need
i am everything you’re not
i think i knew the words but
at some point i forgot

and when your words come out your mouth
what gets left behind
i want to know what i live without
i want to read your mind
i want to read your mind
i want to read your mind
