I've been trying
for hours just to
think of what
exactly to say
I thought I'd leave you
with a letter
or a 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
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 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
so can't you
see me tonight
C'mon and
look at me and
read 'em and weep
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
so can't you
see me tonight
C'mon 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
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
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 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
so can't you
see me tonight
C'mon and
look at me and
read 'em and weep
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
C'mon look at me
and read 'em
and weep
For all the hours
we'll be
spending alone
For the dreams
we'll ignore
And all those promises
we promised to keep
They won't be
kept anymore
For the magic
that our bodies
had made
For the blood
that we lost
And all the secrets
that we
somehow betrayed
For whatever
the cost
For the memories
still alive
in the bed
For the lies
we believed
And all the things
that can
never be said
Why don't you
look at me and
read 'em and weep
C'mon 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 here
in my eyes and
it's all I can say
C'mon look at me
and read 'em
and weep
