[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
