Verse One:
You take the passenger seat on life
cuz when you’re bleeding out you forget to drive.
But you’ve forgotten no one’s at the wheel.
Now you’re destination’s off the map;
you’re afraid to go on, but more afraid to turn back.
Don’t I know exactly how that feels?

Chorus:
You painted on a smile but now it starts to fade.
Took so much time and tears washed it away.
Mm, yeah.
When life’s a burning hell, you go black and white.
I can’t always help, but you know I’ll try
cuz I know all the colors the fill your silhouette.

Verse Two:
A mirror shows the scars gone past
so don’t look now! Just crack that glass.
Reflected in my eyes you’re beautiful.
No, I can’t stand to watch you cry,
so pour it over me for a while.
Won’t be long until you’re whole.

Chorus:
You painted on a smile but now it starts to fade.
Took so much time and tears washed it away.
Mm, yeah.
When life’s a burning hell, you go black and white.
I can’t always help, but you know I’ll try
cuz I know all the colors the fill your silhouette.

Bridge:
Hurt was bursting at the seams;
the corners of my life started to fray.
But you reminded me of my dreams
and the least I can do for you is the same.

Chorus:
You painted on a smile but now it starts to fade.
Took so much time and tears washed it away.
Mm, yeah.
When life’s a burning hell, you go black and white.
I can’t always help, but you know I’ll try
cuz I know all the colors the fill your silhouette.

Your silhouette, your silhouette.
I know all the colors that fill your silhouette.
