lyrics

Play the Part

So you gotta play the part
of "honest guy"
and you tried your best to look like you're winning
Yeah, you gotta play the part
of one who loves
but the dust is settling on the spotlight

and you're not living on a stage
and you're gonna have to face it
that you're not gonna get away with it

and you won't be satisfied in California
I coulda warned you
I coulda warned you
I coulda warned you
I coulda warned you

and you won't be satisfied in California
I coulda warned you
I coulda warned you
I coulda warned you
I coulda warned you
are who you are
you don't have to play the part

and you coulda been my hero
but you're Hamlet
and I shoulda seen it coming
you were typecast
and you blame it all on me
for seeing stars
we could go far
we could go far

but we're not living on a stage
and we're gonna have to face it
that we're not gonna get away with this

and we're not living on a stage
and we're gonna have to face it
that we're not gonna get away with this

and you can't destroy yourself in all your lies
when they open up the doors you will go blind
and you can't destroy yourself in flashing lights
when they open up the doors you will go blind

and you won't be satisfied in California
I coulda warned you
I coulda warned you
I coulda warned you
I coulda warned you

and you won't be seeing stars in California
I coulda warned you
I coulda warned you
I coulda warned you
are who you are
you don't have to play the part

you are who you are
you don't have to play the part

you are who you are
you don't have to play the part

you are who you are
you don't have to play the part
