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 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 so 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 so can't you see me tonight? |
|
Come on and look at me and read 'em and weep |
|
I've been whispering softly |
|
And 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 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 '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 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 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 look at me and read 'em and weep |
