I've been trying for hours just to think of what exactly to say
  I thought I'd leave you with a letter or 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'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 a 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 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
  chorus
  I'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 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 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 blank
  chorus
  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 lost
  Running silent and deep - and all the 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
  Why don't you look at me and read 'em and weep
  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 look at me and read 'em and weep
