Read 'em And Weep

[ti:Read 'em And Weep] [ar:Barry Manilow] [al:The Essential Barry Manilow] [offset:0] Read 'em And Weep - Barry Mani 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 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 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 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 Come on and look at me and read em and weep 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 Come on and look at me and read em and weep 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 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 blank 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 Come on 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 Come on 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 Come on 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 Come on look at me and read em and weep
