Song Lyrics

Read'em And Weep

Meat Loaf

i've been trying for hours just to think of what exactly to say.
i thought l'd leave you with a letter of firey speech
like when an actor makes an exit at the end of a play

and l've been dying for hours trying to fill up all the holes with some
sense
l'd like to know how you faded and you threw it away
l'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 find the words then i would write it 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 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

i've been whispering softly
trying to build a cry up to a scream
we'll 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 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 sarcastic thanks
but now the rooms are all empty and the candles are dark
the guns are exhausted and the bullets are blanks
and everything's blank

if i could 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
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 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-
forthe 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 look at me and read em and weep
