Lyrics to Cameo

[Verse 1]

You used to run this town

But you ran it into the ground

Now you think they all want your head

But you're not that important

At this rate you'll grow out of it



You parlayed your little problems

Into a thrilling narrative

And an unpaid internship

And now you have no bridges left

You burned right through your safety net



[Chorus]

You're a cameo

In everybody's life but your own

Now that you're all alone

You realize you're nothing without everyone



[Verse 2]

An island off the coast of anything

They say you're like a ghost, and finally

'Cause that's what you've been dying to make them think

Your head's in the clouds

But they've been over you for awhile now



You've got nothing to say

All those words just get in the way

While you were running lines backstage

We were circling the drain

'Cause I'm the one who got away



[Chorus]

And you're a cameo

In everybody's life but your own

Now that you're all alone

You realize you're nothing without everyone



[Bridge]

You brought us to tears

With your soliloquy

So do us a favor

And put us out of our misery



[Chorus]

You're a cameo

In everybody's life but your own

Now that you're all alone

You realize you're nothing without everyone



You're a cameo

In everybody's life but your own

While your eyes were closed

You'll find they gave away the starring role



You're a cameo

In everybody's life but your own

You're a cameo

In everybody's life but your own
