Silver Screen - Jones, Blakey

Do you ever wonder why people hurt

Why people lie?

Forgetting to be human

Lost 'til we die

I can tell the wood for the trees

In the city that never breathes

I can tell my wants from my needs

But I know I want more

And I keep it together, just enough to get by

I rehearse every line so it’s prefect from the outside

But I’m looking for love, love underneath

All of the words we choose to speak

I’m looking for love, love like on a silver screen

I wonder if love, love is looking for me

Do you ever want to say what you mean

Pack up and leave

'Cause you’re feeling like you’re wasting energy

When you know the shoe don’t fit

But you walk in it anyway

How they gonna find your heart when you’re so unkind to it

I’m gonna keep it together, just enough to get by

I can smile for a while but it’s only on the outside

But I’m looking for love, love underneath

All of the words we choose to speak

I’m looking for love, love like on a silver screen

I wonder if love, love is looking for me

I wanna say what I wanna say

I wanna do what I wanna do

Oh, but I feel vulnerable

Oh, I wanna say what I wanna say

Would it hurt if I tell the truth

Oh, is that so terrible

Ooh

But I’m looking for love, love underneath

All of the words we choose to speak

I’m looking for love, love like on a silver screen

I wonder if love, love is looking for me
