Rread 'em and weep lyrics

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 how you faded 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, 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

C'mon and look at me and read 'em and weep (2x)

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 dying for hours trying to fill up all the holes with some sense

I'd like to know why you faded 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

But now the rooms are all empty, the candles are dark

The guns are exhausted

And the bullets are blanks and every thing's blank

f 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

C'mon 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

C'mon and look at me and read 'em and weep

For all the hours we've been spending alone

For all tears raining down

And all those promises we promised to keep

They won't be kept any more

For the magic that our bodies had made

For the love that we lost

And all the secrets that we somehow betrayed

For whatever the cause

For the myth we still having affair

For the lies we believed

And all the things that can never be kept

Why don't you look at me and read 'em and weep?

C'mon and look at me and read 'em and...

It's there in my heart, it's all I can say

C'mon and look at me and read 'em and weep
