lyrics

playing you back like a movie
life will appear in the face on the screen
all that I want is emotion
let me give in to the pain on the face like a clown

writing you songs isn’t easy
words should appear but they don’t when you’re near
spending my time with the lonely
feelings I get when you turn off the light to lie down

what I show you about me
I show you in my songs
as you tell me your bad dreams
I sing every one

playing you back like a movie
watching the scenes of the people you’ve been
seeing the change in your motion
every move is a step toward feeling the ground

hiding my heart like a monster
making my pact with the face on the screen
the movie will show you I love you
follow the plot as I turn off my light to lie down

what I show you about me
I show you in my songs
as we act in our movie
I sing every one
