作曲:

I've been trying for hours just to think of what exactly to say

I thought I'd leave you with a letter or firey 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 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 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

Come on and look at me and read em and weep

If I could 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

Come on 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 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 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

Come on and look at me and read em and weep

Oh it's there in my eyes and coming straight from my heart

It's running silent and angry and deep

Oh it's there in my eyes and it's all I can say

Come on and read em and weep

Read em and weep for all the hours we'll be spending alone

Read em and weep for the dreams we'll ignore

Running silent and deep

And all those promises we promised to keep

They won't 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 don't you look at me and read em and weep

Come on 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 here in my eyes and it's all I can say

Come on look at me and read em and weep
