read 'em and weep

i've been tryin for hour just to think of what exactly to say

i thought i leave you with a letter or a firey 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 like to know why you gave up and threw it away

i like to give you all the reasons and what everything meant

well

i can tell you goodbye or maybe see you around

with just a touch of 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 the voice

i would speak

oh its 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 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 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

'til 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 blank

and everything is blank

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

for all the hours we'll be spending alone

for the dreams will ignore

and all the promises we promise to keep

they won't be kept anymore

and for the magic that our bodies have made

for this blood that we've lost

and all the secrets that we somehow we betrayed

and for whatever the cost

and for the memories still alive in the bed

for the lies we believe

and all the things we will never have said

why don't you look at me

and ream '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

and it's all i can say

come on and look at me

and read 'em and weep
