SONG:Read Em And Weep

Read 'em and weepbarry manilowi've been trying for hours just to think of what exactly to sayi thought i'd leave you with a letter or 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 how you faded 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 aroundwith just a touch of a sarcastic thankswe started out with a bang and at the top of the worldnow the guns are exhausted and the bullets are blanksand everything's blankchorus:if i could 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 so can't you see me tonightcome on and look at me and read 'em and weepchorusi've been whispering softly, trying to build a cry up to 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 dying for hours trying to fill up all the holes with some sensei'd like to know why you faded and you threw it awayi'd like to give you all the reasons and what everything meantwell i could tell you good-bye or maybe see you aroundwith just a touch of a sarcastic thanksbut now the rooms are all empty, the candles are darkthe guns are exhausted and the bullets are blanks, and everything's blankchorusit's there in my eyes and coming straight from my heartit's running silent and angry and deepit's there in my eyes and it's all i can saycome on and read 'em and weepread 'em and weep - for all the hours we'll be spending aloneread 'em and weep - for the dreams we'll ignorerunning silent and deepand all those promises we promised to keep, they won't be kept anymoreread 'em and weep - for the magic that our bodies had maderead 'em and weep - for the blood that we lostrunning silent and deepand all the secrets that we somehow betrayedfor whatever the costread 'em and weep - for the memories still alive in the bedread 'em and weep - for the lies we believedrunning silent and deepand all the things that can never be saidwhy don't you look at me and read 'em and weepcome on and look at me and read 'em and weep it's there in my eyes and coming straight from my heartit's running silent and angry and deepit's here in my eyes and it's all i can saycome on look at me and read 'em and weep
