If You Could Only Read My Mind Lyrics

If you could only read my mind
You would know what I feel for you
If you could only read my mind
It's only friendship that I seek, and truth

If you could only read my mind
You would know that my trust in you is complete
If you could only read my mind
You would know that I cannot lie or deceive
If you could only read my mind
I don't want to scare you away
If you could only read my mind
All my life I've been alone
And I'm afraid
That this might never change

Open and wait and
And secretly pray
That I didn't say the wrong word
Or gone too far with feeling
But I have never learned to hide
The things that I carry within me
If you could only...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
