"Read 'Em & Weep" by Barry Manilow

Ive been trying for hours just to think of what exactly to
say
I thought Id leave you with a letter or fiery 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
Id like to know how you faded and you threw it away
Id 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 everythings blank

CHORUS:
If I could find the words then I would write it all down
If I could only find a voice I would speak
Oh its there in my eyes so cant you see me tonight
Come on and look at me and read em and weep

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 dying for hours trying to fill up all the holes
with some sense
Id like to know why you faded and you threw it away
Id 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
everythings blank

CHORUS

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 read em and weep

Read em and weep - for all the hours well be spending alone
Read em and weep - for the dreams well ignore

Running silent and deep
And all those promises we promised to keep, they wont be
kept anymore
Read em and weep - for the magic that our bodies had made
Read em and weep - for the blood that we lost

Running silent and deep
And all the secrets that we somehow betrayed
For whatever the cost
Read em and weep - for the memories still alive in the bed
Read em and weep - for the lies we believed

Running silent and deep
And all the things that can never be said
Why dont you look at me and read em and weep
Come on and look at me and read em and weep 

Its there in my eyes and coming straight from my heart
Its running silent and angry and deep
Its here in my eyes and its all I can say
Come on look at me and read em and weep
