[Chorus]

I’m just a side character in your main plot line

Always pay the check and pick up your hotline

You were nicer to me

When you hardly knew me

But you won’t get woke to that ‘til I’m gone

I’m just a side character in your main plot line

Always pay the check and pick up your hotline

You were nicer to me

When you hardly knew me

But you won’t get woke to that ‘til I’m gone

[Verse 1]

You shine your sunlight on me

But then just as quickly you’ll take it from me

You’re conveniently deaf to my afflictions

But you can bank on my addiction for you

I don’t believe you do it by design

It’s just your natural lizard mind

All you can eat emotional needs

Why give it back when you can get it for free

Because I’m

[Chorus]

Just a side character in your main plot line

Always pay the check and pick up your hotline

You were nicer to me

When you hardly knew me

But you won’t get woke to that ‘til I’m gone

I’m just a side character to your main spotlight

Always pay the ransom for your drunk gunfight

You’d be nicer to me

If you saw the true me

But you won’t get woke to that ‘til I’m gone

[Verse 2]

Can I call you Boo?

‘Cause you’re King of the Ghosts

You’re always apt to disappear

When I need you the most

You make a habit out of turning away

Forget what you get and fail to repay

But now you’re clearly tapping me out

But you know I’m always good for a hit

You know I’m always good for a hit, for a hit, for a hit

And that’s what keeps me

[Chorus]

Just a side character in your main plot line

Always pay the check and pick up your hotline

You were nicer to me

When you hardly knew me

But you won’t get woke to that ‘til I’m gone

I’m just a side character to your main spotlight

Always pick you up

Get you back to baseline

You’d be nicer to me

If you saw the true me

But you won’t get woke to that ‘til I’m gone

[Verse 3]

Maybe I’m destined for supporting roles

I can stoke the fire but can’t take the controls

But just once I’d like to reject your text and see

But you don’t ever have to worry

Have no fear that I might be leaving

‘Cause you can always find someone who’s

Desperate enough to be

[Chorus]

Just a George Harrison to your main spotlight

Always toe-the-line

While you soak up limelight

You were nicer to me

When you hardly knew me

But you won’t get woke to that ‘til I’m gone

I’m just a side character in your main plot line

Always pay the check and pick up your hotline

You were nicer to me

When you hardly knew me

But you won’t get woke to that ‘till I’m gone

I’m just a side character in your main spotlight

Always hold-the-bag while take my cross light

You’ll be nicer to me

When you see the new me

But you won’t wake up to that ‘til I’m gone
