Barry Manilow – Read ‘Em and Weep Lyrics

Artist: Barry Manilow
Song: Read ‘Em and Weep

I’ve been tryin for hour just to think of what exactly to say
I thought I 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 like to know why you gave up and threw it away
I like to give you all the reasons and what everything meant
Well, I can tell you goodbye 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 it all down
If I could only find the voice

I would speak
Oh its there in my eyes
Oh can’t you see me tonight
Come on and look at me

And read ’em and weep
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 dreaming forever
Hoping something would eventually come

I saw your eyes in the dark
I felt your kiss on my lips
I traced your body in the air
‘Til the bodies were numb

Well, I could tell you goodbye
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 blank
And everything is blank

Oh it’s there in my eyes
And coming straight from my heart
It’s running silent and angry and deep
Oh it’s there in my eyes

And it’s all I can say
Come on and look at me
And read ’em and weep
