Read them and weep

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...
