we're in a picture black and white
you took the light out of my life
when you gave in
were 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 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
chorus
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 hands
don't you know you love me like you never loved yourself
don't you know you love me like you never loved yourself
in this silent movie
there's no talking
you're just an actor
so break into my story
take it over
