If I could only find a voice I would speak...

I've been trying for hours just to think of what exactly to say
I thought I'd leave you with a letter of fiery speech
Like when an actor makes an exit at the end of the 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 give you all the reasons and what everything meant

Well I could tell you good-bye
Or maybe see you around
With just a touch of 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 only find the words then I would write them all down
If I could only find a voice I would speak
But it's there in my eyes so can't you see me tonight
C'Mon and look at me and read 'em and weep
If I could only find the words then I would write them 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
C'Mon and look at me and read 'em and weep

I've been whispering softly
Trying to build a cry up to scream
We let the past slip away
And put the future on hold
Now the present is nothing but a hollowed out dream
I've been dying for hours
Trying to fill up the holes eith 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 good-bye
Or maybe see you around
With just a touch of sarcastic thanks
But now the rooms are all empty
And the candles are dark
The guns are exhausted
The bullets are blanks
And everything's blank

If I could only find the words then I would write them all down
If I could only find a voice I would speak
oh it's there in my eyes oh can't you see me tonight
C'Mon 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 there in my eyes and it's all I can say
C'Mon 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've lost
Running silent and deep
And all those 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
C'Mon 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 there in my eyes it's all i can say
C'Mon and look at me and read 'em and weep
