Starring Role

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

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

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

Than play a supporting role

If I can't get the starring role

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

C'mon baby, let's just get drunk

Forget we don't get on

You're like my dad, you'd get on well

I send my best regards from hell

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

Than play a supporting role

If I can't get the starring role

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

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

Than play a supporting role

If I can't get the starring role
