I've been iryin' for hours
Just to think of what
Exactly to say
I thought I'd leave you

With a leiier
Or a fiery speech
Like when an actor

Makes an exit
At the end of a play
And I've been
Dyin' for hours

Tryin' to fill up
All the holes

With some sense
I'd like to know

Why ya gave up
And yo threw it away
I'd like to give you
All the reasons

And what
Eve ryihing meu nf
Well I could
Tell you good bye

Or maybe

See you around
We started out
With a bong

And of the 10p
Of the world
Now the guns
Are exhausted

And the bullets
Are blanks
And everyihing's blank
If I could only

Find ihe words
Then I would
Write it all down
Oh it's there in my eyes

Oh can't yo
See me tonight
Come on and

Look of me and
Read 'em and weep
If I could only
Find the words

Then I would
Write it all down
(Instrumental Break)
I've been

Whisperin' softly
Tryin' to build a cry up

Into a screa m
We let the past

Slip away and
Put the future on hold
Now the present

Is noihin' but
A hollowed-oui dream
And I've been

Drea min' forever

Hopin' somethin'
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 good bye

Or maybe

See you around
But now the rooms

Are 0 empty
The candles are dark
The guns are exhausted

And the bulleis
Are blanks
And everyihing's blank
If I could only

Find ihe words
Then I would
Write it all down
Oh it's there in my eyes

And comin' straight
From my heart
Ifs runnin' silent

And angry and deep
Oh oh it's there

In my eyes
And it's all I can say
For all the hours
We'll be spendin' alone

For the dreams
We'll ig nore
And all the promises
We promised to keep

They won't be
Kept anymore
For the magic

Thai our bodies
Have made
And all those
Secrets that

We somehow betrayed
For whatever the cost
For the memories
Still alive in the bed

For the lies

We believed
Why don't you

Look of me and
Read 'em and weep
Come on and

Look of me and
Read 'em
Ifs there in my eyes

And comin' straight
From my heart
Ifs runnin' silent

And angry and deep
Ifs there in my eyes

Ifs all I can say
Come on and
Look of me

And read 'em
And weep
