Barry Manilow Read 'Em And Weep

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 a play

And I've been dying for hours
Trying to fill up
All the holes with some sense
I'd like to know why you gave up
And you threw it away
I'd like to give you all the reasons
And what everything meant

Well, I could tell you "goodbye"
Or maybe "see you around"
With just a touch of
A sarcastic "thanks"

We started out the with a bang
And at the top of the world
Now the guns are exhausted
And the bullets are blanks
And everything's frank

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
Oh, 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
Oh, 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 into 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
Until the bodies were numb

Well, I could tell you "goodbye"
Or maybe "see you around"
With just a touch of
A sarcastic "thanks"

But now the rooms are all empty
The candles are dark
The guns are exhausted
And the bullets are blanks
And everything's frank

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
Oh, can't you see me tonight
C'mon and look at me
And read 'em and weep

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
C'mon and look at me
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 will have never been said

Why don't you look at me
And read 'em and weep
C'mon 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
It's all I can say
C'mon and look at me
And read 'em and weep
