The Actor Lyrics by Dylan Gardner

Adventures in Real Time

2014

[Verse 1]
I am the looks, I am the brains
I am the actor
I am the master
Of my own demise
I am the soul, I am the whole
I am the actor
I'm the disaster
Who can't read his lines

[Chorus]
Please don't leave me now; I've lost my way
I don't know what it is or what I should say
I've played the role just a little too far
No one ever told me this was hard

[Verse 2]
Take a walk outside
The only part where I am free to fly
I take it back on that track
I am the actor
Closing the chapter
'Cause I'm afraid to

[Chorus]
Please don't leave me now; I've lost my way
And I don't know what it is or what I should say
I've played the role just a little too far
No one ever told me this was hard

[Outro]
Please don't leave me now; I've lost my way
And I don't know what it is or what I should say
I've played the role just a little too far
No one ever told me
Please don't leave me now; I've lost my way
I don't know what it is or what I should say
I've played the role just a little too far
