Barry Manilow – Read'em And Weep Lyrics  Share

I^,ve been trying for hours just to think of what exactly to say
I thought I^,d leave you with a letter or 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 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 goodbye or maybe see you around
With just a touch of a 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

CHORUS:
If I could find the words then I would write it 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
Come on and look at me and read ^,em and weep

CHORUS

I^,ve been whispering softly, trying to build a cry up to a scream
We let the past slip away, and put the future on hold
Now the present is nothing but a hollowed out dream

And I^,ve been dying for hours trying to fill up all the holes with 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 a sarcastic thanks
But now the rooms are all empty, the candles are dark
The guns are exhausted and the bullets are blanks, and everything^,s blank

CHORUS

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
Come on 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 lost

(Running silent and deep)
And all the 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
Come on 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 here in my eyes and it^,s all I can say
Come on look at me and read ^,em and weep
