“Cameo” is the fourth song on Sam Tsuis album “Trust”. It’s about a partner in a relationship who’s only in rare cases fully part of the relationship. He or she is often physically or mentally absent and not willing to really live the relationship up. If he or she is ask to do so, she turns tail and...
[Verse 1]
‘Bout time for you to show
Stay a while
We’ll have fun pretending you’re mine
But I know your style
[Bridge]
It’s getting familiar
The vision when you come and go
We’re heading for a collision
It’s a glancing blow
[Verse 2]
Open your heart for a minute
But it snaps back closed, oh
It’s alright, it’s alright ‘cause
I used to dream we’d last
Beyond the afterglow
But now I know
You’re just a cameo
[Chorus]
Don’t even need to ask
Somewhere you got to go
Now I know
You’re just a cameo
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Now I know: You’re just a cameo
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Now I know you’re just a cameo
It’s not hard
Picking up, babe, where we left off
Lift that curtain
Be my guest star till the lights fade
And we come apart, oh
[Bridge]
It’s getting familiar
The feeling when you walk away
Darling I’m done with believing I can make you stay
I’d give you my heart if you’d keep it, but that’s a part you’d never play, hey
It’s alright, it’s alright ‘cause
[Chorus]
I used to dream we’d last beyond the afterglow
But now I know
You’re just a cameo
Don’t even need to ask
Somewhere you got to go
Now I know: You’re just a cameo
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Now I know you’re just a cameo
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Now I know you’re just a cameo
[Verse 3]
Just for a moment
Let’s be together
By now I know you won’t stay forever
Won’t hold my breath, babe
Each time you disappear
But let me love you, love you
Let me love you while you’re here
[Chorus]
I used to dream we’d last
Beyond the afterglow
But now I know
You’re just a cameo
Don’t even need to ask
Somewhere you got to go
Now I know: You’re just a cameo
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Now I know you’re just a cameo
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Now I know you’re just a cameo
