Meat Loaf – Read 'em & Weep

IâЂ™ve been trying for hours just to think of what exactly to say<br>I thought IâЂ™d leave you with a letter or firey speech<br>Like when an actor makes an exit at the end of a play<br>And IâЂ™ve been dying for hours trying to fill up all the holes with some sense<br>IâЂ™d like to know how you faded and you threw it away<br>IâЂ™d like to give you all the reasons and what everything meant<br><br>Well I could tell you good-bye or maybe see you around<br>With just a touch of a sarcastic thanks<br>We started out with a bang and at the top of the world<br>Now the guns are exhausted and the bullets are blanks<br>And everythingâЂ™s blank<br><br>Chorus:<br><br>If I could find the words then I would write it all down<br>If I could only find a voice I would speak<br>Oh itâЂ™s there in my eyes so canâЂ™t you see me tonight<br>CâЂ™mon and look at me and read âЂ™em and weep<br><br>Chorus<br><br>IâЂ™ve been whispering softly, trying to build a cry up to a scream<br>We let the past slip away, and put the future on hold<br>Now the present is nothing but a hollowed out dream<br><br>And IâЂ™ve been dying for hours trying to fill up all the holes with some sense<br>IâЂ™d like to know why you faded and you threw it away<br>IâЂ™d like to give you all the reasons and what everything meant<br><br>Well I could tell you good-bye or maybe see you around<br>With just a touch of a sarcastic thanks<br>But now the rooms are all empty, the candles are dark<br>The guns are exhausted and the bullets are blanks, and everythingâЂ™s blank<br><br>Chorus<br><br>ItâЂ™s there in my eyes and coming straight from my heart<br>ItâЂ™s running silent and angry and deep<br>ItâЂ™s there in my eyes and itâЂ™s all I can say, câЂ™mon and read âЂ™em and weep<br><br>Read âЂ™em and weep - for all the hours weâЂ™ll be spending alone<br>Read âЂ™em and weep - for the dreams weâЂ™ll ignore<br>Running silent and deep -<br>And all those promises we promised to keep, they wonâЂ™t be kept anymore<br><br>Read âЂ™em and weep - for the magic that our bodies had made<br>Read âЂ™em and weep - for the blood that we lost<br>Running silent and deep - and all the secrets that we somehow betrayed<br>For whatever the cost<br><br>Read âЂ™em and weep - for the memories still alive in the bed<br>Read âЂ™em and weep - for the lies we believed<br>Running silent and deep - and all the things that can never be said<br><br>Why donâЂ™t you look at me and read âЂ™em and weep<br>CâЂ™mon and look at me and read âЂ™em and weep<br>ItâЂ™s there in my eyes and coming straight from my heart<br>ItâЂ™s running silent and angry and deep<br>ItâЂ™s here in my eyes and itâЂ™s all I can say<br>CâЂ™mon look at me and read âЂ™em and weep
