[Verse 1]
You decide you're evil
You test it on the skies
This complicated evil
It does you no justice here
Yeah I'm supposed to shine, dear
But I can't see my hands
We drift apart like colours
And learn from mistakes you've put into place when you walked
Walked away
I'm hanging on the words that you say
Oh

[Pre-Chorus]
And I don't know why
But silent movies always make me cry
It's the black and white
Everybody trying to make it through the night

[Chorus]
Well I don't know anyone else
And I'm always all by myself
So please tell me why
The silent movies make me cry

[Verse 2]
Are we cornered into my mind
'Cause I don't know where to go
Such a complicated evil
You're pulling on strings you've put into place when you walked
When you walked away
A subtle change but I can't seem to fake
And it feels so strange
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don't know why
The silent movies always make me cry
It's the black and white
Everybody's trying to make it through the night

[Chorus]
Well I don't know anyone else
And I'm always all by myself
So please tell me why
The silent movies make me cry
