Lyrics:Jim Steinman Music:Jim Steinman | |
I've been trying for hours just to think of what exactly to say | |
I thought I'd leave you with a letter of fiery speech | |
Like when an actor makes an exit at the end of the 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 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 only find the words then I would write them all down | |
If I could only find a voice I would speak | |
But it's there in my eyes so can't you see me tonight | |
C'Mon and look at me and read 'em and weep | |
If I could only find the words then I would write them 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 | |
I've been whispering softly, trying to build a cry up to scream | |
We let the past slip away and put the future on hold | |
Now the present is nothing but a hollowed out dream | |
I've been dying for hours, trying to fill up the holes eith 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 | |
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 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've lost, Running silent and deep | |
And all those 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 | |
C'Mon and look at me and read 'em and weep, Why don't you 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 | |
But it's there in my eyes so can't you see me tonight, C'Mon and look at me and read 'em and weep |
