Read 'em And Weep

In the style of

Barry Manilow

Lyrics

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 hours
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 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
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 a 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 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 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 deep

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 this blood
that we've lost

and all those 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 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 deep

it's there in my eyes
it's all i can say
come on and
look at me
and read 'em
and weep
