| 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 |
