Silent Movie lyrics

We're in a picture black and white

Who took the light out of my life

When you gave in?

We're playing out of different roles

We should be wanting the same goals

Listening, forgiving

Why can't we communicate

When the main feature is just beginning?

[Refrain:]

In the silent movie, there's no talking

You're just an actor

So break into my story

Take it over

Paint me with colour

Everybody's speaking, but you don't know what they're saying

You're just guessing meanings

Interpreting emotion through a window that is broken

We're just testing feelings

Why can't we communicate

When the main feature is just beginning?

[Refrain:]

In the silent movie, there's no talking

You're just an actor

So break into my story

Take it over

Paint me with colour

Step into the movie, you can be my leading man

Break into the silence, so your heart can understand

Step into the movie, we could walk along the sand

Let me stand beside you, put your life into my hand

Don't you know you love me like you never love yourself?

Don't you know you love me like you never love yourself?

Don't you know you love me like you never love yourself?

Don't you know you love me like you never love yourself?

[Refrain:]

In the silent movie, there's no talking

You're just an actor

So break into my story

Take it over

Paint me with colour
