Barry Manilow - Read 'Em and Weep Lyrics


I've been trying for hours just to think of what exactly to sayI thought I'd leave you with a letter or a fiery speechLike when an actor makes an exit at the end of a playAnd I've been dying for hours trying to fill up all the holes with some senseI'd like to know why you gave up and you threw it awayI'd like to give you all the reasons and what everything meantWell, I could tell you "goodbye" 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 worldNow the guns are exhausted and the bullets are blanksAnd everything's blankIf I could only find the words then I would write it all downIf I could only find a voice I would speakOh, it's there in my eyes, oh, can't you see me tonightCome on and look at me and read 'em and weepIf I could only find the words then I would write it all downIf I could only find a voice I would speakOh, it's there in my eyes, oh, can't you see me tonightCome on and look at me and read 'em and weepI've been whispering softly trying to build a cry up into a screamWe let the past slip away and put the future on holdNow the present is nothing but a hollowed-out dreamAnd I've been dreaming forever, hoping something would eventually comeI saw your eyes in the dark, I felt your kiss on my lipsI traced your body in the air until the bodies were numbWell, 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 darkThe guns are exhausted and the bullets are blanksAnd everything's fineIf I could only find the words then I would write it all downIf I could only find a voice I would speakOh, it's there in my eyes, oh, can't you see me tonightCome on and look at me and read 'em and weepOh, it's there in my eyes and coming straight from my heartIt's running silent and angry and deepOh, it's there in my eyes and it's all I can sayCome on 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 keepThey 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 betrayedFor 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 saidWhy don't you look at me and read 'em and weepCome on and look at me and read 'emIt's there in my eyes and coming straight from my heartIt's running silent and angry and deepIt's there in my eyes, it's all I can sayCome on and look at me and read 'em and weep
