Mind Reader

Everything you told me
Shatters when I look too close
Say we're on the same side
But we're stuck all night
In a deadlock conversation

Everything I gave up
Gave you all the cards to hold
With the sleight of your hand
Took the money and ran
Made my love a negotiation

No you don't make it clear at all
And I don't have a crystal ball
Yeah, all I ever wanted was clarity

You wouldn't tell me
What you were thinking
Sat on the sidelines like it didn't hurt
Kept me a secret
Sold me a feeling
But I'll never be a mind reader

Suddenly it's my fault
But how was I supposed to know
That I made you upset, you were holding your breath

And every time I go back and replay
I can see the patterns take shape
You set me up like I'm the one to blame

You don't make it clear at all
And I don't have a crystal ball
Yeah, all I ever wanted was honesty

You wouldn't tell me
What you were thinking
Sat on the sidelines like it didn't hurt
Kept me a secret
Sold me a feeling
But I'll never be a mind reader

You kept it all inside
I couldn't make it right
When I go back in time
I still can't read your mind
I couldn't see the signs
No matter how I tried
When I'm looking in your eyes
I still can't read your mind

You wouldn't tell me
What were you thinking?
Sat on the sidelines, and you know that hurt
Kept me a secret
Sold me a feeling
But I'll never be a mind reader
