Read 'Em and Weep

Lyrics：Jim Steinman Music：Jim Steinman
Ive 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 Ive 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 everythings 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 cant you see me tonight
come on and look at me
and read em and weep
REPEAT CHORUS
Ive 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 Ive 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
REPEAT CHORUS
Oh its there in my eyes
and coming straight from my heart
its running silent and angry and deep
oh its there in my eyes
and its all I can say
come on and look at me
and read em and weep
for all the hours well be spending alone
for the dreams will ignore
and all the promises we promise to keep
they wont be kept anymore
and for the magic that our bodies have made
for this blood that weve 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 dont you look at me
and ream em and weep
come on and look at me and read em
its there in my eyes
and coming straight from my heart
its running silent and angry and deep
its there in my eyes
and its all I can say
come on and look at me
and read em and weep
