I've been trying for hours just to think
of what exactly to say,
I thought I'd leave you
with a letter or a fiery 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 why you threw it all away,
I'd like to you to give me all the reasons
and what everything meant....
If I could only find the words
then I would write it all down,
If I could only find a voice
I would speak,
It's there in my eyes, can't you see it tonight,
Come on and look at me and read them and weep...
I've been whispering softly
trying to build a cry up into a scream,
We let the past slip away
and put the future on hold,
Now the present is nothing
but a hollowed-out dream.....
It's there in my eyes
and coming straight from my heart,
It's running silent and angry and deep
Come on and look at me and read them and weep...
For all the hours we'll be spending alone
For the dreams we'll ignore,
And all those promises we promised to keep
They won't be kept anymore...
For the magic that our bodies had made
And all those secrets
that you somehow betrayed,
for whatever the cost......
For the memories still alive in my head
For the lies I believed
And all the things that can never be said
Come on and look at me and read them and weep...
