Meat Loaf - Read 'em And Weep lyrics

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 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

The bullets are blanks

And everything`s blank

Chorus:

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 so can`t you see me tonight

C`mon and look at me and read `em and weep

chorus

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 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

The bullets are blanks, and everything`s blank

chorus

It`s there in my eyes and coming straight from my heart

It`s running silent and angry and deep

It`s there in my eyes and it`s all I can say, c`mon and look at me 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

C`mon 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

C`mon look at me and read `em and weep
