Read Em And Weep lyrics

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

[Chorus:]
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

[Chorus]

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 sacarcastic 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

[Chorus]

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 c
