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 The bullets are blanks And everything's blank [Chorus:] 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 [Chorus] 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 The bullets are blanks, and everything's blank [Chorus] 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 look at me and read 'em and weep Read
