IâЂ™ve been trying for hours just to think of what exactly to say
I thought IâЂ™d leave you with a letter or firey speech
Like when an actor makes an exit at the end of a play
And IâЂ™ve been dying for hours trying to fill up all the holes with some sense
IâЂ™d like to know how you faded and you threw it away
IâЂ™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 everythingâЂ™s blank
Chorus:
If I could find the words then I would write it all down
If I could only find a voice I would speak
Oh itâЂ™s there in my eyes so canâЂ™t you see me tonight
CâЂ™mon and look at me and read âЂ™em and weep
Chorus
IâЂ™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 IâЂ™ve been dying for hours trying to fill up all the holes with some sense
IâЂ™d like to know why you faded and you threw it away
IâЂ™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 everythingâЂ™s blank
Chorus
ItâЂ™s there in my eyes and coming straight from my heart
ItâЂ™s running silent and angry and deep
ItâЂ™s there in my eyes and itâЂ™s all I can say, câЂ™mon and read âЂ™em and weep
Read âЂ™em and weep — for all the hours weâЂ™ll be spending alone
Read âЂ™em and weep — for the dreams weâЂ™ll ignore
Running silent and deep —
And all those promises we promised to keep, they wonâЂ™t be kept anymore
Read âЂ™em and weep — for the magic that our bodies had made
Read âЂ™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 âЂ™em and weep — for the memories still alive in the bed
Read âЂ™em and weep — for the lies we believed
Running silent and deep — and all the things that can never be said
Why donâЂ™t you look at me and read âЂ™em and weep
CâЂ™mon and look at me and read âЂ™em and weep
ItâЂ™s there in my eyes and coming straight from my heart
ItâЂ™s running silent and angry and deep
ItâЂ™s here in my eyes and itâЂ™s all I can say
CâЂ™mon look at me and read âЂ™em and weep
