| Lyrics：Jim Steinman Music：Jim Steinman | |
| I've been tryin for hour just to think of what exactly to say | |
| I thought I leave you with a letter or a 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 like to know why you gave up and threw it away | |
| I like to give you all the reasons and what everything meant | |
| well, I can tell you goodbye or maybe see you around | |
| with just a touch of 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 | |
| CHORUS: | |
| if I could only find the words | |
| then I would write it all down | |
| if I could only find the voice | |
| I would speak | |
| oh its there in my eyes | |
| oh can't you see me tonight | |
| come on and look at me | |
| and read 'em and weep | |
| REPEAT 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 dreaming forever | |
| hoping something would eventually come | |
| I saw your eyes in the dark | |
| I felt your kiss on my lips | |
| I traced your body in the air | |
| 'til the bodies were numb | |
| well, I could tell you goodbye | |
| or maybe see you around | |
| with just a touch of a sacarcastic thanks | |
| but now the rooms are all empty | |
| the candles are dark | |
| the guns are exhausted | |
| and the bullets are blank | |
| and everything is blank | |
| REPEAT CHORUS | |
| 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 look at me | |
| and read 'em and weep | |
| for all the hours we'll be spending alone | |
| for the dreams will ignore | |
| and all the promises we promise to keep | |
| they won't be kept anymore | |
| and for the magic that our bodies have made | |
| for this blood that we've lost | |
| and all the secrets that we somehow we betrayed | |
| and for whatever the cost | |
| and for the memories still alive in the bed | |
| for the lies we believe | |
| and all the things we will never have said | |
| why don't you look at me | |
| and ream 'em and weep | |
| come on and look at me and read 'em | |
| 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 | |
| come on and look at me | |
| and read 'em and weep |
