Gordon Lightfoot - If You Could Read My Mind
If you could read my mind, love
What a tale my thoughts could tell.
Just like an old time movie
'Bout a ghost from a wishing well.
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet.
You know that ghost is me.
And I will never be set free
As long as I'm a ghost that you can't see.
If I could read your mind, love
What a tale your thoughts could tell.
Just like a paper back novel
The kind the drugstores sell.
Then you reached the part
Where the heartaches come
The hero would be me.
But heroes often fail
And you won't read that book again
Because the ending 's just too hard to take
I'd walk away like a movie star
Who gets burned in a three-way script.
Enter number two
A movie queen to play the scene
Of bringing all the good things out of me.
But for now, love, let's be real
I never thought I could feel this way
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.
If you could read my mind, love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
'Bout a ghost from a wishing well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
But stories always end
And if you read between the lines
You'd know that I'm
Just tryin' to understand
The feelings that you lack
I never thought I could feel this way
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

Two songs: "Someday" by Nickelback,
and "If You Could Read My Mind" by Gordon Lightfoot.
Also, if you heard the latter, there are numerous covers of this song, so the song you heard might be from another artist entirely.

someday somehow by nickelback
How the hell did we wind up like this
Why weren't we able
To see the signs that we missed
And try to turn the tables
I wish you'd unclench your fists
And unpack your suitcase
Lately there's been too much of this
Dont think its too late
Nothin's wrong
just as long as
you know that someday I will
Someday, somehow
gonna make it allright but not right now
I know you're wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)
Someday, somehow
gonna make it allright but not right now
I know you're wondering when
Well i hoped that since we're here anyway
We could end up saying
Things we've always needed to say
So we could end up stringing
Now the story's played out like this
Just like a paperback novel
Lets rewrite an ending that fits
Instead of a hollywood horror
Nothin's wrong
just as long as
you know that someday I will
Someday, somehow
gonna make it allright but not right now
I know you're wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)
Someday, somehow
gonna make it allright but not right now
I know you're wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)
