I've been tryin' 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
Dyin' for hour
Tryin' to fill up
All the holes
With some sense
I'd like to know
Why ya gave up
And ya 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
Oh can't ya
See me tonight
Come on 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 oh it's 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
Whisperin' softly
Tryin' to build cry up
Into a scream
We let the past
Slip away and
Put the future on hold
Now the present
Is nothin' but
A hollowed-out dream
And I've been
Dreamin' forever
Hopin' somethin'
Would eventually come
I saw your eyes
In the dark
I felt your kiss
On my lips
I traced your body
In the air
Until the bodies
Were numb
Well I could
Tell you good bye
Or maybe
See you a round
With just a touch
Of a sarcastic
Thanks
But now the rooms
Are all emply
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
Oh can't you
See me tonight
Come on and
Look at me and
Read 'em and weep
Oh it's there in my eyes
And comin' straight
From my heart
It's runnin' silent
And angry and dee
Oh 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 spendin' alone
For the dreams
We'll ignore
And all the promises
We promised to keep
They won't be
Kept anymore
For the magic
That our bodies
Have made
For the blood
That we've lost
And all those
Secrets that
We somehow betrayed
For whatever the cost
For the memories
Still a live in the bed
For the lies
We believed
And all the things
That will have
Never been said
Why don't you
Look at me and
Read 'em and weep
Come on and
Look at me and
Read 'em
It's there in my eyes
And comin' straight
From my heart
It's runnin' silent
And angry and dee
It's there in my eyes
It's all I can say
