I ve been trying for hours just to think of what exactly to say
I thought l d leave you with a letter of firey speech
Like when an actor makes an exit at the end of a play

And l ve been dying for hours trying to fill up all the holes with some sense
l d like to know how you gave up and you threw it away
l d like to give you all the reasons and what everything meant

Well I could tell you quot;good-bye quot; or maybe quot;see you around quot;
With just a touch of a sarcastic quot;thanks quot;
We started out with a bang and at the top of the world
Now all 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
Ohit 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
Ohit 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 into 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 darkI felt your kiss on my lips
I traced your body in the air until the bodies were numb

Well I could tell you quot;good-bye quot; or maybe quot;see you around quot;
With just a touch of a sarcastic thanks
But now the rooms are all empty and 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 monwill 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
It s here in my eyes and it s all I can say
C monwill you 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 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 ve lost
Running silent and deep
And all those 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

Why don t you look at me and read em and weep.
C mon and look at me and read em

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 eyesit s all I can say
C mon and look at me and read em and weep
