Red Carpet Complex Lyrics

I insist you be the star
the camera is rolling stand still so I'll capture this shot
Chemicals for our anxious hearts
baby I'm nervous, I can't wait until April falls
The greatest love story ever caught on film

Tension grows behind curtains
actors ask for water
why bother-love withers away
the villains prospered
the good guys lost her
the crowd remains anxious
we'll leave them all with open jaws

Credits in the end will reveal your name
behind this camera lens I will stay
Strange fiction
despite that I'm nervous and practically worthless

Is this the part where the hero dies?
I'm not one for credits, I'm finished so leave my name out
the villains prospered
the good guys lost her
It's tragic you missed it the camera was never turned on
Strange fiction
despite that I'm nervous and practically worthless
Strange fiction
cause you're nearly perfect and I remain worthless

Backstage the camera's not rolling
so I find this perfect time to say
you're his favorite extra
and I'm just your co-star

Strange fiction
despite that I'm nervous and practically worthless
