Starring Role

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You're hard to hug, tough to talk to And I never fall asleep when you're in my bed All you give me is a heartbeat I've turned into a statue And it makes me feel depressed 'Cause the only time you open up is when we get undressed [Pre-Chorus 1] You don't love me, big fucking deal I'll never tell you how I feel You don't love me, not a big deal I'll never tell you how I feel [Chorus] It almost feels like a joke to play out a part When you are not the starring role in someone else's heart You know I'd rather walk alone (I'd rather walk alone) Than play a supporting role If I can't get the starring role [Verse 2] Sometimes I ignore you, so I feel in control 'Cause really, I adore you and I can't leave you alone Fed up with the fantasies that cover what is wrong Come on, baby, let's just get drunk Forget we don't get on [Pre-Chorus 2] You're like my dad, you'd get on well I send my best regards from Hell [Chorus] It almost feels like a joke to play out a part When you are not the starring role in someone else's heart You know I'd rather walk alone (I'd rather walk alone) Than play a supporting role If I can't get the starring role [Bridge] I never sang for love, I never had a heart to mend Because before the start began, I always saw the end, yeah I wait for you to open up, to give yourself to me But nothing's ever gonna give, I'll never set you free Yeah I'll never set you free [Chorus] It almost feels like a joke to play out a part When you are not the starring role in someone else's heart You know I'd rather walk alone (I'd rather walk alone) Than play a supporting role If I can't get the starring role [Outro] The starring role
