Read 'Em and Weep

歌詞

I've been trying for hours just to think of what exactly to say I thought I'd leave you with a letter or fiery speech Like when an actor makes an exit at the end of a play And I've been dying for hours trying to fill up all the holes with some sense I'd like to know why you gave up and 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 started 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 Oh it's there in my eyes so can't you see me tonight Come on and look at me and read them 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 Oh it's there in my eyes so can't you see me tonight Come on and look at me and read them 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 I felt your kiss on my lips I traced your body in the air till the bodies were numb Well I could tell you good bye 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 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 Oh it's there in my eyes so can't you see me tonight Come on and look at me and read them and weep Oh it's there in my eyes and coming straight from my heart It's running silent and angry and deep Oh it's there in my eyes and it's all I can say Come on and look at me and read them and weep Read them and weep for all the hours we'll be spending alone Read them and weep for the dreams we'll ignore Running silent and deep And all those promises we promised to keep they won't be kept anymore Read them and weep for the magic that our bodies had made Read them and weep for the blood that we lost Running silent and deep And all the secrets that we somehow betrayed For whatever the cost Read them and weep for the memories still alive in the bed Read them and weep for the lies we believed Running silent and deep And all the things that we'll never be said Why don't you look at me and read them and weep Come on and look at me and read them 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 them and weep
