MEAT LOAF - Read 'em & Weep lyrics

rate me

I’ve been trying for hours just to think of what exactly to say<br>I thought I’d leave you with a letter or firey speech<br>Like when an actor makes an exit at the end of a play<br>And I’ve been dying for hours trying to fill up all the holes with some sense<br>I’d like to know how you faded and you threw it away<br>I’d like to give you all the reasons and what everything meant<br><br>Well I could tell you good-bye or maybe see you around<br>With just a touch of a sarcastic thanks<br>We started out with a bang and at the top of the world<br>Now the guns are exhausted and the bullets are blanks<br>And everything’s blank<br><br>Chorus:<br><br>If I could find the words then I would write it all down<br>If I could only find a voice I would speak<br>Oh it’s there in my eyes so can’t you see me tonight<br>C’mon and look at me and read ’em and weep<br><br>Chorus<br><br>I’ve been whispering softly, trying to build a cry up to a scream<br>We let the past slip away, and put the future on hold<br>Now the present is nothing but a hollowed out dream<br><br>And I’ve been dying for hours trying to fill up all the holes with some sense<br>I’d like to know why you faded and you threw it away<br>I’d like to give you all the reasons and what everything meant<br><br>Well I could tell you good-bye or maybe see you around<br>With just a touch of a sarcastic thanks<br>But now the rooms are all empty, the candles are dark<br>The guns are exhausted and the bullets are blanks, and everything’s blank<br><br>Chorus<br><br>It’s there in my eyes and coming straight from my heart<br>It’s running silent and angry and deep<br>It’s there in my eyes and it’s all I can say, c’mon and read ’em and weep<br><br>Read ’em and weep - for all the hours we’ll be spending alone<br>Read ’em and weep - for the dreams we’ll ignore<br>Running silent and deep -<br>And all those promises we promised to keep, they won’t be kept anymore<br><br>Read ’em and weep - for the magic that our bodies had made<br>Read ’em and weep - for the blood that we lost<br>Running silent and deep - and all the secrets that we somehow betrayed<br>For whatever the cost<br><br>Read ’em and weep - for the memories still alive in the bed<br>Read ’em and weep - for the lies we believed<br>Running silent and deep - and all the things that can never be said<br><br>Why don’t you look at me and read ’em and weep<br>C’mon and look at me and read ’em and weep<br>It’s there in my eyes and coming straight from my heart<br>It’s running silent and angry and deep<br>It’s here in my eyes and it’s all I can say<br>C’mon look at me and read ’em and weep
