We're in a picture black and white
You took the light out of my life
When you gave in

We're playing out our different roles
We should be wanting the same goals
Listening forgiving

Why can't we communicate
When the main feature
Is just beginning?

In this 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 they don't know what they're saying
You're just guessing, meaning

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?

In this 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 can 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 loved yourself
Don't you know you loved me, like you never loved yourself

Don't you know you love me, like you never loved yourself
Don't you know you loved me, like you never loved yourself

Why can't we communicate
When the main feature
Is just beginning?

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
