Read 'em And Weep
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 [Chorus] SongtexteI'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 [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 Aus Songtexte Mania
