Don't think sorry's easily saidDon't try turning tables insteadYou've taken lots of Chances beforeBut I'm not gonna give anymoreDon't ask meThat's how it goesCause part of me knows what you're thinkin'Don't say words you're gonna regretDon't let the fire rush to your headI've heard the accusation beforeAnd I ain't gonna take any moreBelieve meThe sun in your EyesMade some of the lies worth believingI am the eye in the skyLooking at youI can read your mindI am the maker of rulesDealing with foolsI can cheat you blindAnd I don't need to see any moreTo know thatI can read your mind, I can read your mindDon't leave false illusions behindDon't cry cause I ain't changing my mindSo find another fool like beforeCause I ain't gonna live anymore believingSome of the lies while all of the signs are deceivingI am the eye in the skyLooking at youI can read your mindI am the maker of rulesDealing with foolsI can cheat you blindAnd I don't need to see any moreTo know thatI can read your mind, I can read your mind
