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 |
|
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 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 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, 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 |
|
Oh, 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 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 dark, 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 exhausted and the bullets are blanks |
|
And everything's fine |
|
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, oh, can't you see me tonight |
|
Come on and look at me and read 'em 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 '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 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 |
|
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 |
