Lyrics

[00:09.900]
[00:19.140] I've been trying for hours
[00:21.550] Just to think of what exactly to say
[00:25.300]
[00:28.670] I thought I'd leave you with a letter or fiery speech
[00:33.420] Like when an actor makes an exit at the end of a play
[00:38.570]
[00:40.780] And I've been dying for hours
[00:43.330] Trying to fill up all the holes with some sense
[00:47.030]
[00:50.280] I'd like to know how you faded
[00:52.720] And you threw it away
[00:54.990] I'd like to give you all the reasons
[00:57.490] And what everything meant
[01:00.050]
[01:02.120] Well I could tell you goodbye
[01:04.420] Or maybe see you around
[01:06.550] With just a touch of a sarcastic thanks
[01:10.760]
[01:13.500] We started out with a bang
[01:15.630] And at the top of the world
[01:17.880] Now the guns are exhausted
[01:20.320] The bullets are blanks
[01:23.320]
[01:25.510] And every thing's blank
[01:27.640] If I could only find the words
[01:30.270] Then I would write it all down
[01:32.580] If I could only find a voice I would speak
[01:36.710]
[01:37.270] Oh it's there in my eyes
[01:39.640] Oh can't you see me tonight
[01:42.010] C'mon and look at me and read 'em and weep
[01:45.910]
[01:46.660] If I could only find the words
[01:48.970] Then I would write it all down
[01:51.170] If I could only find a voice I would speak
[01:55.310]
[01:55.870] Oh it's there in my eyes
[01:58.180] Oh can't you see me tonight
[02:00.370] C'mon and look at me and read 'em and weep
[02:04.330]
[02:21.610] I've been whispering softly
[02:23.540] Trying to build a cry up to a scream
[02:27.730]
[02:30.480] We let the past slip away and put the future on hold
[02:35.360] Now the present is nothing but a hollowed out dream
[02:40.250]
[02:41.950] And I've been dying for hours
[02:44.450] Trying to fill up all the holes with some sense
[02:48.340]
[02:50.980] I'd like to know why you faded
[02:53.420] And you threw it away
[02:55.540] I'd like to give you all the reasons
[02:58.000] And what everything meant
[03:00.370]
[03:02.310] Well I could tell you goodbye
[03:04.430] Or maybe see you around
[03:06.630] With just a touch of a sarcastic thanks
[03:10.630]
[03:11.270] But now the rooms are all empty
[03:13.960] The candles are dark
[03:15.980] The guns are exhausted
[03:18.420] And the bullets are blanks and every thing's blank
[03:25.130] If I could only find the words
[03:27.560] Then I would write it all down
[03:29.870] If I could only find a voice I would speak
[03:33.870]
[03:34.430] Oh it's there in my eyes so can't you see me tonight
[03:39.080] C'mon and look at me and read 'em and weep
[03:42.770]
[03:43.460] Oh it's there in my eyes
[03:45.590] And coming straight from my heart
[03:47.750] It's running silent and angry and deep
[03:51.620]
[03:52.370] Oh it's there in my eyes and it's all I can say
[03:56.740] C'mon and look at me and read 'em and weep
[04:00.630]
[04:02.260] For all the hours we've been spending along
[04:06.650] For all tears raining down
[04:09.400]
[04:11.090] And all those promises we promised to keep
[04:15.360] They won't be kept in vogue
[04:18.180]
[04:19.740] For the magic that are bodies had made
[04:23.550]
[04:24.060] For the love that we lost
[04:26.620]
[04:28.260] And all the secrets that we somehow betrayed
[04:32.580] Hold my another cause
[04:35.020]
[04:36.590] For the myth we still having affair
[04:40.840] For the lives we been lived
[04:43.710]
[04:45.020] And all the things that can never be kept
[04:48.270] Why don't you look at me and read 'em and weep
[04:52.150]
[04:52.770] C'mon and look at me and read 'em and
[04:55.620] It's there in my eyes and coming straight from my heart, It's running silent and angry and deep
[05:07.790] It's there in my heart it's all I can say
[05:12.560] C'mon and look at me and read 'em and weep
