Read 'Em And Weep

I've been trying for hours just to think of what exactly to say 
I thought I'd leave you with a letter or firey 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 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 good-bye 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 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 
C'mon 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 
Oh it's there in my eyes so can't you see me tonight 
C'mon 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 dying for hours trying to fill up all the holes
 With some sense 
I'd like to know why 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 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 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 
C'mon and look at me and read 'em and weep
 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 and it's all I can say 
C'mon 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 those 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 lost 
Running silent and deep - 
And all the secrets that we somehow betrayed for whatever the cost 

Read 'em and weep - 
For the memories still alive in the bed 
Read 'em and weep - 
For the lies we believed 
Running silent and deep - 
And all the things that can never be said 

C'mon and look at me and read 'em and weep
Why don't you look at me and read 'em and weep 

It's there in my eyes and coming straight from my heart 
It's running silent and angry and deep 
But it's here in my eyes so can't you see me tonight
C'mon look at me and read 'em and weep
