Child Actor Lyrics

I was a child actor
A face on a wall
Holding my breath
As I wait for the curtain to fall
Was it good enough?
Was it ever good enough?
Anything, be the person that you want

I was a child actor
Born to applause
Wasting away
As I chase all the roles I've lost
Was I good enough?
Was I ever good enough?
Is it me that they see when the cameras are off?

Won't you
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off

I was a child actor
A name on the board
Losing myself as I use someone else's words
Is it true enough?
Is it ever true enough?
Understand who I am
When the credits roll

Won't you
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off

Say, are you who I think you are?
Hey, aren't you who I think you are?
Where have I seen your face?
I've seen your face before
I don't know who you think you are

Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Won't you
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off
Turn the cameras off

I was a child actor
