I've been trying for hours just to
think of what exactly to say
I thought I'd leave you with a letter
or a fiery speech
Like when an actor makes an exit
at the end of a play
I've been dying for hours trying to fill
up all the holes with some sense
I'd like to know how you faded and
you threw it away
I'd like to give you all the reasons
and what everything meant
Well I could tell you goodbye or
maybe see you around
With just a touch of a sarcastic"Thanks"
We stated out with a bang and
at the top of the world
Now the guns are exhausted and
the bullets are blanks...
And everything's blank
If I could only find the words then
I would write it all down
If I could only find a voice I would speak
It's there in my eyes, oh can't you
see me tonight
Come on and look at me and
Read 'Em And Weep
If I could only find the words then
I would write it all down
If I could only find a voice I would speak
It's there in my eyes, oh can't you
see me tonight
Come on and look at me and
Read 'Em And Weep
I've been whispering softly trying to
build a cry up to a scream
We let the past slip away and put
the future on hold
Now the present is nothing but a
hollowed out dream
And I've been dreaming forever
hoping something would eventually come
I saw your eyes in the dark and
I felt your kiss on my lips
I traced your body in the air until
the bodies were numb
Well I could tell you goodbye or
maybe see you around
With just a touch of a sarcastic
"Thanks"
But now the rooms are all empty,
the candles are dark
The guns are exhaused and
the bullets are blanks...
And everything's blank
If I could only find the words
then I would write it all down
If I could only find a voice I would speak
It's there in my eyes, oh can't you see me tonight
Come on and look at me and
Read 'Em And Weep
It's there in my eyes and comin' straight
from my heart
It's running silent and angry and deep
It's there in my eyes and it's all I can say
Come on and look at me and
Read 'Em And Weep
(Read 'em and Weep)
For all the hours we'll be spending alone
(Read 'em and Weep)
For the dreams we'll ignore
(Running silent and deep)
And all the promises we promised to keep
They won't be kept anymore
(Read 'em and Weep)
For the magic that our bodies had made
(Read 'em and Weep)
For the blood that we've lost
(Running silent and deep)
And all those secrets that we somehow betrayed
For whatever the cost
(Read 'em and Weep)
For those memories still alive in the bed
(Read 'em and Weep)
For the lies we believed
(Running silent and deep)
And all the thing that will have never been said
Why don't you look at me and read 'em and weep
Come on and look at me and read 'em and...
It's there in my eyes and coming straight
from my heart
It's running silent and angry and deep
It's there in my eyes, it's all I can say
Come on and look at me and
Read 'Em And Weep
